You really have to love the commonsense approach that our state legislators take on local issues.  Here is the latest example, now signed into law by Gov., soon to be ex-Gov. Brown

TAKE IT TO THE STREETS: Senate Bill 946 (Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens)

As the Trump administration ramps up its immigration enforcement efforts, California is attempting to bring street vendors, many of whom are undocumented immigrants, out of the shadows. The state will now prohibit local governments from banning sidewalk sales of food and other merchandise, and require them to set up a licensing system if they want to regulate the practice. Violations of local rules can only be punished with citations or fines, not criminal charges, so as not to alert immigration authorities.

And who pays for the "licensing system" to be designed, built, advertised and maintained?  We do.  Nice work.  Definitely got your priorities right, legislators.
