I'm sure Councilwoman Lopez's heart was in the right place, but God what a dumbass law
I'm pretty sure that law is only in place if you take tax credits or subsidies. So if you want to hire whoever you want, pay for it all yourself.

Also, according to this article, the rule has been around for some time and is an executive order. Lopez might have had something to do with it recently, but I don't think she started it.
