L.A. mayor's race: Rick Caruso unveils 'small business bill of rights'
Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso on Tuesday unveiled his plan to help small businesses, which he says haven't just been hurt by the pandemic but also by crime and homelessness.
"We didn't have the crime problem we had today," Caruso said at a campaign event in Sherman Oaks. "We didn't have the homeless problem we had today. And we weren't over regulated like we are today. I have many small businesses on our properties that we have to help just to get home. You almost literally need to hire a lobbyist in order to help navigate through the regulation in the city of L.A.
"It's all about getting people in shelter, in a bed, building trust and confidence, dealing with them with dignity and humanity and then offer the services they need," Caruso said. "Psychiatric care. Care in terms of drug addiction. I look at it: treat that person who's homeless as if it were one of your own."
