I like Sen. Donna Mercado-Kim a lot, but sometimes, she needs to know when to bite her tongue. Leave it to the hotel industry to challenge the legality of this law. That's in the future. Don't put ideas in their head by suggesting that very thing. Right now, the city has a deadline to meet — with the U.S. Department of Transportation. This law only needs to look good long enough for the feds to release the rest of the $1.55 billion.
