What I see happening here is another form of government picking winners and loosers. Assuming free enterprise is still legal, why should the small vendors at the farmers market pay penalties because they are not from the island. I don’t think a one day a week event is enough to make a living. Most people go to the market to buy vegetables, fruit and fresh ethnic bakery goods and seafood. I hav’nt noticed any produce farms or island bakeries on the island. Who is the PRAC really trying to protect? Maybe Wynn Dixie or Publics.
If the local business community and the Chamber of Commerce like the way the market is operating, what business is it of the PRAC. Are these people transplanted Californians or just genetically challenged.
Sorry about any misspellings. I seem to have lost spell check on this old PC I keep here.
