Well then just have the compassionate folks “donate” to her cause and then give them a nice little thank you gift in return sheesh
The PR for the town will be unpleasant for the local pols.
I had a Nephew who around 1965 decided to sell mistletoe where he lived in Ft. Walton, Bch. My parents lived in the country and had several trees with mistletoe growing in them.
He paid me to shoot them down with a .22 rifle. He did so well that he came back and got a lot more.
Take out an ad on Craigslist and create a web page explaining what’s going on and what her intent is.
She’ll get enough loot for open heart surgery.....which the ass klowns in Portland could use.
If she wanted to have a fundraiser she should have sold marijuana brownies. That is probably legal in Portland.
When I was a kid, my brother and I would get mistletoe from the oak trees around the neighborhood and package sprigs with rubber bands from our paper route and sell them in front of the local strip malls at Christmas time.................
Another Very Blue state trying to control every aspect of the peoples lives.
In the article she said she plans to be back and have a “kiss-off”. I hope that includes telling the rent-a-pig to kiss-off as well.
Well, that is what happens when you keep electing DEMOCRATS. A POLICE STATE.
How did I know from just reading the headline that this was a Portland story?
It’s true what Instapundit says: they’ll turn us into beggars ‘cause they’re easier to please.
Hey, doesn’t Obamacare cover braces?
They basically suggested exchanging the mistletoe for a "donation." In the meantime, all the other vendors have permits.
It only helped her cause by going to the media. I wonder how many vendors w/permits use their proceeds to support their children/families.
Selling is conducting a business. Leftists don’t like any business that they aren’t controlling, damaging or taxing.
Begging is what poor people do, and they are victims, so that’s all right.
In other words, the left would rather have people poor and begging rather than working and earning money.
It’s a good thing she didn’t have a lemonade stand.
I can't wait for December 14th for that.
incentives and disincentives
and leftists still don’t get it
I was born and raised in Oregon. My grandparents had a place in Newberg and a cabin on the coast. I spent much of my youth on the Oregon coast. It was a beautiful place to live and a wonderful time in my life.
Oregon has become such a disappointment. Dear God I miss the old days….
The fact is that these types are laws are nothing but open-faced PROTECTIONISM!
Older companies have larger overhead costs, long-term lease contracts, etc... and the new guys are smart enough to NOT have these burdensome costs. So, the existing companies got the city to write an ordinance that makes it harder for new upstarts to compete against them. Of course, city hall, with their brown-bags of cash tucked in their back pockets, stand up and say these laws protect their citizens from the droves of smarmy, traveling, snake-oil salesmen (because we all know that the swarms of Gypsies are stealing most Americans blind!)!!
The only thing these types of laws do is discourage growth, hurt the economy and stop entrepreneurs from doing business in your town!
