Originally Posted by News PORTLAND, Ore. -- A county official in Oregon has apologized after a 7-year-old's business venture was soured because health inspectors shut down her lemonade stand.
Multnomah County Chairman Jeff Cogen, the county's top elected official, said Thursday that running a lemonade stand is a "classic iconic American kid thing to do."
He says he called Julie Murphy's mother, Maria Fife, to offer his apology and says she appreciated it.
Fife helped her daughter set up a lemonade stand last week at a local arts fair in northeast Portland. They had to pack up and leave after being approached by two inspectors who said the stand lacked a license.
Cogen says while the inspectors were doing their job, the rules are meant for professional food service operators. | Doesn't sound like there's much to it. Two inspectors complied with the rules (perhaps because their bosses / the rules give them little discretion), the boss then apologies because the Rules wern't intended to be applied that way.

I'd be embarassed if I were connected in any way with those 'authorities'.
I'd personally go to that little kid's house and buy all of the lemonade.
And then donate an extra twenty bucks.
