“Seems as if in this instance the tax payers would be on the hook for any damages resulting from the girls selling their eggs.”
What about the right to freely contract for your goods or services with other people (which necessarily implies some risks)? Evidently, you’ve never heard of that, either.
A license is needed to sell as well as a permit.....at least in the town I live in which is in a very, very red State.
BTW I am not siding against the girls here. As I said I was simply playing Devils advocate. Others here suggested the girls could give away the eggs and ask for a contribution to one cause or another (strictly voluntary). Apparently if it is charity the rules change.
