Hola Y'all

There is a town in Alabama that has some Hispanic businesses. Their signs are in Spanish. The mayor wants any sign in Spanish to have an English translation as well. He says this is for public safety, saying emergency personnel can respond quicker if they can read signs and find businesses.

A Hispanic advocate responded with a proposal that all signs period be in both English and Spanish. The mayor says that is “ludicrous”.

I have to go with my gut on this one, and come down squarely on the side of less government interference. If someone wants to put a business sign up in only Spanish, or Lithuanian for that matter, it’s their business.

One thing we don’t need in this country is even MORE governmental regulations for small businesses.
