Government health regulators must protect us from the menace of kid-run lemonade stands:
A 7-year-old Oregon girl’s enterprising spirit was snuffed out when county health inspectors shut down her lemonade stand on the grounds that she didn’t have a license.
Officials from the Multnomah County Health Department confirmed they tossed little Julie Murphy’s makeshift lemonade business out of the Last Thursday monthly art fair in Northeast Portland.
They said she violated a government regulation requiring a $120 temporary restaurant license to sell food to the public. She and her mother, Maria Fife, set up shop at the event last week without one.
