Vendors We Offered to Buy Product From Want to Be Bailed Out By City of San Diego

Carl DeMaio where is my bailout? I lost my coffeehouse also, due to the corrupt power of a chief appellate court judge and a town of people. Mr. DeMaio did the vendors you plan on bailing out tell you the truth? Did they inform you, that we approached the coffee cart owner with a proposal to buy mass quantities of coffee and product everyday. But she only wanted to sell coffee by the cup and not give us even a small discount on a large daily order.

Mr. DeMaio did the hot dog cart owners tell you that people that have been participating in occupy San Diego verbally announced to the crowds numerous times, to buy hot dogs from their cart and support their business. Do you know how many hot dogs and drinks have been purchased by people from occupy San Diego? I would like to know what the financial numbers where for this vendor in the past to compare the damage you say we have caused this owner.

One other thing Mr. DeMaio, have you spoke to the owner of Downtown Johnny Brown's about the 60% increase in business, due to occupy San Diego eating there? Mr. DeMaio when you want to feel sorry for all the people that have lost their jobs, businesses and homes due to others that are homeless occupying the civic center and you want to listen to us and bail us out, I will have respect for you.

These two vendors you are enamoring with sympathy and support are just like us. Open your eyes and ears a little wider when you sit behind the city council desk and choose who you like and dislike. Occupy San Diego participants are just like these vendors mad that someone stole their jobs, businesses and homes. Wake up Carl DeMaio!
