Egg management fee

You know why you REALLY don't call the Multnomah County Health Dept. at 503-988-3674....?

Cuz deep down you KNOW their dad can beat yours up, and cuz they LIKE taking your lunch money, that's why...

AND your sister is tooootally ugly. And you're weak, and stuff...

[Little Ray]

Y’know, if these people started DYING when they attempted this...

"Technically, any lemonade stand -- even one on your front lawn -- must be licensed under state law, said Eric Pippert, the food-borne illness prevention program manager for the state's public health division."

[EggsAckley]

She should do what the high school car washes do: the car washing is free, but they hope you’ll give them a “donation.”

That might work for a while.

[NormsRevenge]

Your future,
America.

"I understand the reason behind what they're doing and it's a neighborhood event, and they're trying to generate revenue," said Jon Kawaguchi, environmental health supervisor for the Multnomah County Health Department. "But we still need to put the public's health first."

That's a good speech, Kawaguchi. You're FIRED!

[NormsRevenge]

Eric Pippert, the food-borne illness prevention program manager for the state's public health division."

I bet he has a big business card.. good name for him , btw. PIPpert.

In America, Black men dressed in Black Muslim Clown Outfits carrying and threatening with nightsticks, attempting to deny citizens their right to vote... yet nothing happens because they are Black.

But, HOW DARE YOU little white girls try to sell lemonade.

The world is insane.

[Hodar]

I’ll wager dinner that if this little girl had been ILLEGAL, they would have looked the other way.

[Gator113]

Are these clowns working jobs that Obama “saved or created” with the treasure he and the dems stole from normal and productive people?

[Gator113]

Had she been black, they would have bought some of her lemonade.

Jon Kawaguchi: 503-988-3400, extension 28260

[MrEdd]

I will point out to all the socialist freepers here that there is zero reason for exemtions to be made for children.

When those of you who chose to support the government having the right to licence selling something on the street to get by (Traditionally called a protection racket and run by organized crime) then you chose this.

It didn’t become wrong simply because this is a litle girl.

Obama is simply a logical extension of the thinking that led to this case. Many people here played a part in it. Now it is biting them too.

[Jess Kitting]

If she were an illegal alien, they would have subsidized her business with taxpayer dollars and provided free health care.

[Necrovore]

Effin commie doesn’t give two craps about public health. How many Chinese buffet restaurants are there in Portland where roaches crawl freely over the food and they stay in business? The commie shut this kid’s stand down because her parents neglected to give the city their cut in the action.

[freespirited]

If lemonade has ever caused food-borne illness. it’s probably because the gummint didn’t do its job maintaining clean water.

[Thunder90]

She will be visited by the Oregon Department of Revenue next... Reason-— Failure to collect sales taxes. Then the IRS will appear and audit her.

No... This is the REAL reason they shut her down.
