San Diego officials moved Wednesday to bail out two food vendors whose businesses have been hurt by the Occupy San Diego protest in the plaza behind City Hall.
Mayor Jerry Sanders announced that the owner of a coffee cart will get a rent waiver for October and will not be charged rent until she is able to bring her cart back to the plaza. The city's lease with the owner of Centre City Coffee calls for a payment of $1,000 a month or 15% of the gross receipts, whichever is greater.
The owner says protesters have harassed her and scared away her customers. She closed her cart last week and has not returned, according to the mayor's staff.
