First They Came for Kid-Run Lemonade Stands, II

Then the "licensing gestapo" came for adults with cancer trying to raise money with weekend yard sales:

Salem, OR -- "A woman fighting a terminal form of bone cancer is trying to raise money to help pay bills with a few weekend garage sales, but the city of Salem says she’s breaking the law and is shutting her down.  Jan Cline had no idea, but the city of Salem has a clear law that states a person can only have three yard sales a year.

Cline has been selling her stuff in the backyard for a few weekends and said she thought she’d be fine by keeping the sale out of everyone’s way."

But then a city inspector showed up and shut her down....

Update: Jan Cline's friends have set up a Facebook page for her, and there is a website here to make donations.
