Co-host Steve Doocy asked Monks if the rioters who ravaged his business had been held accountable for the damage done to his company and others in the area.
"None that I'm aware of," Monks responded."We provided the city with the information that we had, the videos and everything that was posted, even to social media."Nonetheless, he urged the city to take action in order to protect business owners like himself moving forward. Monks called on city officials to foster an environment in which businesses like his can flourish, saying something must be done about open-air drug use and the homeless population.
"The biggest thing the city can do for us is just make it a viable place to do business going forward," he said."… from the loss, it's almost too late to replace that. Those businesses are already gone. We just need a viable place to do business." "Make it a safe and… clean environment… where… people are willing to come down and… experience what we have to offer downtown," he continued.
