Street vendors are turning food carts into billboards -- but instead of marketing to customers, these ads implore City Council Speaker Christine Quinn to lower fines.
The campaign, which starts today, features posters with a large photo of Quinn, asking her to push legislation lowering fines for infractions.
Vendors can receive fines as high as $1,000 for infractions like having a vending license in their pocket instead of around their neck, according to Street Vendors Project spokesman Sean Basinski.
