My city wanted to bring in food trucks for special events at the fair grounds, but the restaurants nearby started whining. So the asshole county made it damn near impossible for a food truck to operate by requiring trucks to get a permit to operate and new permit to be at the location of service (regardless if it was private property) that ran into the hundreds of dollars per day depending on the location, and you had to apply weeks ahead of time, pay fees upfront, and the county would drag ass on approval, with many times approving it at the last second or after the fact, and once approved, you couldn't get the fees back. The city sued the county over it, and it's working it way through the courts.

Before this mess, you only needed a food permit for the truck to operate anywhere in the county.

Oh, our county and city doesn't not get along. At all. Much worst now that a Trumper got in the mayor office. Now all they do is fight. It's so bad that the county commissioner, who some how won her seat even through everyone in the county hates her and knows she's dirty as hell, and is trying to get her son installed as mayor.
