“In one of our towns along the Hudson River they had to pass a law requiring 1/2 of each sign be in English; they were all Asian alphabets, and firemen couldn’t respond to calls in a timely manner because they couldn’t read business names. Their chamber of commerce meetings are held in Korean...”

Holy sh*t!!! WOW!!! I’m speechless.

That county (Bergen County, less than a mile north of me)just added Korean to its ballots as well. Many Asians living along the Hudson River work in Manhattan; the area in question is on the NJ side of the George Washington Bridge. They are a wealthy group, and certainly have a positive financial impact.

Other areas rife with signs in Spanish haven’t had the same problem come up, probably because they at least use the same alphabet.
