I wish this couple would stop crying about their situation to the news media and take some constructive action on their own behalf.
Move their business across the river (to WA) and refuse to pay the fine while they pursue legal remedies. They might find themselves with more support, success and happiness if they would just FIGHT for what they believe in.
How do you propose they do that when the full weight of the government is crushing them.
No matter what horror falls on an American through the heavy foot of government, there’s always some freeper to claim that the American is a cry-baby. Never fails.
