San Francisco Mayor the Latest to Criticize and Make Vague, Unenforceable Threats at Chick-fil-A

San Francisco mayor Edwin Lee became the latest big city mayor to make empty threats at Chick-fil-A. First it was Boston mayor Thomas Menino, who just today toned down his rhetoric because he realized it was, you know, illegal and impossible to actually ban Chick-fil-a from Boston. Then it was Chicago alderman Joe Moreno who said: "Because of this man's ignorance, I will now be denying Chick-fil-A's permit to open a restaurant in the 1st Ward." Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel had his back, telling reporters that opening a Chick-fil-A in Chicago, "would be a bad investment, since it would be empty."
