In English Please

Concerned about the proliferation of shop signs exclusively in foreign languages, two city lawmakers want to ensure that a minimum amount of English is used on every sign.

A bill sponsored by Councilmen Dan Halloran and Peter Koo, both Queens Republicans, would give merchants up to four years to change existing signs and shop awnings to make sure stores' names and addresses are in English.

The law would be more stringent for new signs, requiring that 60 percent of the words are English.

"Downtown Flushing stores are not getting utilized in the way that they should be. Those merchants should benefit from having the broadest expanse of consumers that they could possibly have," Halloran said.

More Republican big government silliness.
