"What do we want?"
We want: to sell with a license created through an official Chicago ordinance. This ordinance should include a license for prepared food and be able to provide the following:

A certificate of approval from the Department of Health for operating a street cart and other equipment that helps to fulfill sanitation codes

An approved certificate from the Department of Health that shows that the vendor has completed a "Sanitation Training for Vendors of Festival Food"

Approve the operator of a cart after he/she has received training in sanitation

Require that no vendor should ever be allowed or forced to work in an alleyway

Require the City of Chicago to store all personal information of the vendor and the cart once a license has been approved; The Department of Health, Police, Sanitation, and Transportation should have access to the files and be obligated to respect the provided information.

"Only Los Angeles and New York have larger Hispanic populations than Chicago, which was projected to be 27 percent Hispanic in the year 2000. The first of Chicago's nearly 600,000 Mexicans arrived to work on the railroad just after the turn of the century; more came to man steel mills during World War II."
