Rally in support of churro vendors
Elected officials in New York rallied in support of another subway churros vendor who received a summons from police. They said these women are just trying to earn a living. But the NYPD said it isn't trying to go after anyone and that cops are simply enforcing laws that prohibit vendors from setting up shop in the subway or anywhere else. The vendors are operating illegally, in part, because of a 1983 cap limiting the number of street vending permits. Reported by Linda Schmidt
