It seems that gone are the days where you could hire your neighbor's entrepreneurial go-getter of a child to cut your grass in exchange for money.
Now that summer is here it seems that it is almost a right of passage for the business minded child or teen to create flyers offering their services to help neighbors mow their lawn. Heck, it just isn't summer without the smell of freshly cut grass in the air, but that may all soon change.
It seems that there are sections of this country that feel those kids should have a permit before mowing one blade of grass in exchange for money. As crazy as it sounds it's true. so let's look at the details of this new way of thinking and see if it will soon be affecting your area.

In my neck of the woods a group of young girls had their lemon aid stand shut down for not having a sellers permit.
Sad but true.
Also heard you have to have a license and food handlers card for a lemonaid stand. The government is going overboard.
Ridiculous.
Stupid big brother crap.
Government overreach at its finest
Everyone wants their cut.
To much government
Some counties require a permit for yard sale!
this is going too far, people reign in your regulatory agencies while ou still can!
The ENTIRE US government is worthy of a constitutional hanging from we the people !
Oh come on, who came up with that stupid idea.
They tried totax yard sales too
kill that little ambition that is left
Nice to see the great responses here!! Government just wants to protect the kids and make a little money on their backs too!! After all it can only be done safely with government regulation and permits…. and lets not forget their share of taxes too….
Kids must get a permit. The government has no limit to the money it needs from everyone.
That’s ridiculous!
Stupidity!!
this is our great city of Gardendale
Well it’s if they get money? Well leave the money in a fast food bag with a snack or lunch and hay you for got your change, it’s on your property tell blow you
The time comes when the people say ENOUGH! We are now telling you, the government to cease and desist. We will not tolerate the abuse any longer.
Not in Commiefornia we have all the illegal aliens do it. Years ago it used to be the Japanese
Snowflakes
This government will suck every last stinking penny out of your pocket!!
Government trying to keep kids from being self motivated
These towns and cities are just greedy. It’s not about keeping the kids safe; it’s about how much they can make off of them.
Just want a piece of the pie no matter how small
Good grief!!
Thanks for teaching kids that initiative is punished. Next thing you know the state will nay them be over 16 to do this as with most other jobs.
total bs
They go to far.
Do it for fellowship, accept all contributions
How about we deport obstructionist, greedy politicians.
What’s next a child’s lemonade stand? This is totally wrong.
How dam ignorant
This is horrible!
Trash news swallow it fools
A liberal
Keep going kids. I will write a receipt that shows you have no profit
Ridiculous
this is going to to far,,,
Maybe they should be fining the landscapers with no drivers licenses and. Who illegally blow the debris into the street and storm drains. But I guess picking on kids who actually are trying to make a few dollars by working is easier
Some places even require that!
No, picking on the “landscapers” would be considered profiling, racist, xenophobic ad nauseaum by the left!
Taking away the right of a child to work! Wow!
Agree
There must not be any crime in this town if the police have time to arrest hard working kids
Anything to keep taking others money
Just another way for the politicians to line their pockets
How can they learn responsibility
