Nashville to Ban Taco Trucks

The city of Nashville is currently proposing a ban on all taco trucks due to health concerns. The taco trucks that many of us frequent will only be allowed for special events, and no longer can operate on a daily basis.

City councilman Tommy Bradley, states that the proposed ban is motivated by health concerns and that it’s not meant to target Latinos. Interestingly, Latinos are the ones that are going to be affected since they’re the ones that own the majority of the trucks in the city.

It is very wrong that the city of Nashville would do this to us, especially since taco trucks are the best source for great tacos. Where do you want us to go? Taco Bell? Yeah right.

Latinos work through the system, start their own businesses and then something like this happens. Why doesn’t the Nashville department of Health actually do their job and inspect the trucks to assure the public that they are safe instead of simply banning them?
