ANOTHER LIBERTARIAN VOTER.

No license? No pop stand, St. Paul tells 2 youngsters (Kevin Duchschere, Star Tribune, 8/29/03).

Mikaela Ziegler, 7, and her 4-year-old sister, Annika, were selling refreshments Wednesday afternoon near the State Fairgrounds when a woman approached them. But she wasn't there to buy.

'She said, 'You can't sell pop unless you have a license,' ' Mikaela said.

That's how it came to be that an inspector with St. Paul's Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection shut down Mikaela and Annika's pop stand. . . .

"I don't think that was right," [Mikaela] said, "Cause you should be able to just sell stuff without having something that you don't know you're supposed to be having."
