Reason: As preposterous as it may sound, in Wisconsin you can go to jail and face hefty fines for selling homemade baked goods.
Wisconsin is one of only two states to ban entrepreneurs from selling cookies, muffins and breads simply because they are made in a home kitchen.
“That means that even if you sell one cookie at a farmers market, to your neighbor, somewhere in your community, you can go to jail for up to six months or even be fined up to $1,000. That’s not only unfair, it’s unconstitutional,” attorney Erica Smith told Wisconsin Watchdog Wednesday on the Vicki McKenna Show, on NewsTalk 1310 WIBA.
Smith is with the Institute for Justice, a nonprofit law firm that “fights against unreasonable government restrictions on individuals’ economic liberty,” according to the Virginia organization’s website. MORE
Sorry customers, my homemade waffles are no longer for sale due to state law. You are now required to purchase your waffles from a clean professional establishment that also doubles as a hair salon because they paid $80,000 for equipment to make waffles and that makes the state happy.
So I assume this means Hillary will not be going to jail?
I mean, everyone knows she doesn’t bake cookies.
Left-over Progressive Economics. Another law the state needs to get rid of.
Of course, it’s because the lawyers know they can’t get squat from Ma Kettle if she bakes deadly cookies, but if Waffle House….
I wonder how many Chipotle Mexican Grills that were closed because of widespread and uncontrolled contamination and disease were oh so carefully checked out by Wisconsin state health inspectors?
The Feds could clean up at any local farmer’s market on the weekend.
But washing out your weave at the Waffle House only gets y’all fired (maybe).
Ain’t no taxes and fees collected from Ma Kettle …
Make it a felony to sell or give food to fed/state gubmint workers.
But if you trade the home made items for goods and services and not through an intermediary such as cash or EBT, would that be legal?
