Not to be too flippant, but, do teenage kids do tasks such as cutting grass anymore?? Kudos to those who are. What about paper boys? Are they still around? At least in some big cities I am familiar with, the newspapers delivery people are adult men who cover huge territories using trucks and vans to do the deliveries. As opposed to a kid on a bicycle covering just his neighborhood.

A city ordinance in Gardendale, Ala. State and local government and law is squarely in the hands of the people. It is up to the citizens of Gardendale, Ala. to change this ridiculous law and their representatives if necessary.

My take is the four largest landscaping companies in the area got together and made a rather large donation to the city council.
Can’t have too much competition you know...

I assume that some sleazy lawn service donated cash to a sleazy democrat in office. The goal was to cut kids out of the business and reduce competition. Democrats and corrupt crony capitalists disgust me. A decent businessman would offer a better looking lawn, more precision in edging or whatever, or some other real incentive, instead of calling big government thugs to enforce their monopoly:
“Nice college fund you got kid, it’d be a shame if something happened to it.”

When my son turned 13, he asked us to buy him a lawnmower for his birthday so he could cut lawns in the neighborhood and make some money.
One day he came home from cutting lawns and asked us what does it mean “if you cut more than 5 lawns a week we will bury you in the desert.” He unknowingly undercut the lawn care businesses and picked up all the business.

If everybody has to abide by regulations and pay taxes, why shouldn’t the yoots?
By the way, aren’t they cutting into established landscaping companies bottom lines? If the yoots undercut the prices using gubmint, that shouldn’t be legal.

When I was teen, I had a lawn mowing business AND a paper route. During casual conversation I would let my paper customers know I also cut lawns....since I already demonstrated responsibility delivering papers many folks would have me cut their grass.
I averaged about $18 a week delivering papers.......I averaged that each yard I mowed.

In HS I had a few customers.
Dad made me a trailer for my bicycle.
It held the mower, edger and big can (I even caught the grass clippings).
Always had plenty of money in HS. First thing I ever bought was a Realistic Astronaut-8 multiband sw radio. Still have it.

Time to take some lawn business owners out behind the woodshed, and I’m not referencing the kids.

He unknowingly undercut the lawn care businesses and picked up all the business. He outdid me. I was threatened by union goons when I was 15 y/o, but never by a private business.

Some of those conniving evil homeowners and renters are trying to steal money from the lawn service companies by sneakily paying a kid cash to mow the lawn. There needs to be a law requiring every owner to have a contract with a lawn service company for which the city/county/state needs to set minimum fees and large fines to owners who sneak around the law by getting the kid next door to cut the grass..
