Casper, Wyoming, newspaper raps lawmakers for not supporting food trucks

April 18, 2018

The Casper Star Tribune in Casper, Wyoming, has criticized the city council in an editorial for not doing more to help local food trucks.

A newly passed ordinance will allow up to 10 food trucks in a given downtown block every month, and the trucks are required to pay a $25 fee to operate downtown. 

The editorial said that a more favorable ordinance would have better served the vibrancy of the city's downtown.

"We wish that downtown vendors had all come together to take advantage of the influx of people visiting the city center," the editorial stated.

Some food truck operators have been put off by the controversy and have chosen to move to more food truck-friendly environments, the editorial said.
