A quarter of a million to tag taco trucks?
The Chronicle's Carolyn Feibel posts that Council this week will consider an expenditure of $250,000 and a bit of change for a radio tag system that will be used to track whether taco trucks are complying with city regulations.
Feibel editorializes in favor of the expenditure:
Before I get too snarky, I'll admit that it's good to see the city taking steps to enforce one of its regulations. Too often, officials pass well-meaning regulations, but there's no impetus or budget to enforce the law. And just last week, the council decided to discard a bike-permit regulation after city officials admitted that enforcement was not a priority, and few followed the law, including the mayor himself. (Story).
So, perhaps tagging the taco trucks is a high-tech answer to enforcement, at least in this arena.
