"Seven-year-old Julie Murphy made headlines last week when Multnomah County, Ore. officials told her she would have to shut down her lemonade stand at a local art fair or face a $500 fine. Her crime? Not getting the required $120 temporary restaurant license. The little girl was reportedly in tears as her enterprise, set up with her mother’s help outside a local art fair, was promptly shut down."
"In Multnomah, food inspectors told Julie’s mother they couldn’t trust her to ensure that the lemonade stand was hygienic. As she pointed out to the Associated Press, the $120 license fee wouldn’t ensure the stand was safe either."
