Victory for Atlanta Vendors: Court Holds That Atlanta Has Street Vending Law in Place; Today Vendors Return to City Hall to Demand Freedom to Work

Institute For Justice reports:

Late yesterday afternoon, Judge Shawn Ellen LaGrua of the Fulton County Superior Court ruled that her December 2012 order, which struck down the city’s Public Vending Management Program, reinstated the pre-existing vending law that Larry Miller, Stanley Hambrick and other Atlanta vendors had worked under for years. The ruling comes just one day after vendors and civil-rights activists engaged in a widely publicized protest on the steps of city hall.
