Don't tell me the hotels can't afford it. And if they won't do it, tell them they have to or they will loose their business license to have a hotel in L.A. How does that sound?

It concerns me that a group of 12 have such power that they can dictate wide spread economic policies specifically targeted to one industry, and even further base it on the number of employees they have. Not only that, they make the assumption that the industry is profitable, which apparently gives them the go ahead to do so.
