Discuss Portland food carts push through recession http://www.oregonbusiness.com/articles/78-january-2010/2775-cash-and-carry Mon, 20 May 2013 03:23:23 +0000 JComments http://www.oregonbusiness.com/articles/78-january-2010/2775-cash-and-carry#comment-2451 maria Wed, 07 Mar 2012 05:36:04 +0000 http://www.oregonbusiness.com/articles/78-january-2010/2775-cash-and-carry#comment-2451 http://www.oregonbusiness.com/articles/78-january-2010/2775-cash-and-carry#comment-2236 > “Stationary food carts should be treated as restaurants and pay the fees normal restaurants pay,” says Kara Thallon, director of public affairs for the Oregon Restaurant Association. Sure, this sounds like a great way to boost the economy. Charge an already downtrodden group of people even more money to keep them down. For many cart owners, this is a second chance in an economy where jobs are scarce, and Kara Thallon wants to put more policies in place that restrict their growth. In the land of the free, it's becoming almost impossible for those who don't already have money to make money, simply because of bureaucratic red tape and other policies that take money from people who need it most. Why? Why would you suggest this Kara? Perhaps the author of this story didn't give you a chance to clearly explain yourself. So we'll give you the benefit of the doubt and allow you to do so now.
