The state Health Department shut down an upstate lemonade stand run by a 7-year-old after vendors at a nearby county fair complained he was undercutting their price.
Brendan Mulvaney was selling lemonade, water and Sno-cones from the porch of his familys home, which happens to be right outside the Saratoga County Fair, when a woman wearing a Health Department T-shirt turned up Friday and ordered it closed because the family had no permit.

Regulatory Release: end seizing freedom and renting it back for a price! End the Shakedown of licenses and permits.

That must have made ol' Beulah Ballbreaker's day, crushing that kid's entrepreneurial adventure.
This is what bloated government does: it spends its time putting you in your place and making sure you dance to its tune instead of the other way around.

If he was in SF, he could carry a straw conviction on his criminal record as well.

If a little immigrant boy was doing this and was shut down there would be riots in the streets,

County fair will go bankrupt if they can’t sell $7.00 lemonades. No cash, tickets only.
“Where do you get tickets?”
“See that long line over there?”
$12.50 for a page of 10 tickets. No time to do the math when figuring out what stuff costs. Be sure to buy exactly enough tickets, full pages only. No refunds on unused tickets. That’s the ticket! Have a nice day!

The kid could always “identify” as an immigrant.

He should have sold the cups instead of the lemonade but offered free lemonade.
To: Kudsman
Did he at least have a dog or cat they could shoot because they felt threatened?

Very true. And his competitors inside the fairgrounds would be denounced as evil capitalists.

I’ve heard about these kids and lemonade stands. They don’t have the health department permits. Thye also don’t have workman’s comp insurance, liability insurance, they don’t pay FICA and Medicare taxes, they don’t have a retirement plan for their employees, thye don’t have the various business licenses required to operate a business, they don’t file tax returns for the business.....
It’s a true crisis that these kids have a lemonade stand......

The boy had not given the politicians enough money in campaign contributions, so he had to be eliminated.

Cute little guy. “Undercutting” the vendors probably wasn’t hard to do. I doubt seriously he had little if any effect on their sales. 99% of his buyers probably bought it just to help him. I’ve bought at lemonade stands before and usually throw it away. I like helping young people understand capitalism.
