Overreaction
To the editor:
I’m glad to see that the car wash to benefit the homeless was shut down, as I’m sure it was causing grave danger to countless citizens. I can rest easy knowing there will never be a shortage of busybodies eager to throw their weight around. I might suggest a simple, “You’re actually supposed to get a permit for this, just a heads up for next time,” would have been sufficient in this instance. Not only shut the thing down, but then to issue a citation? Give me a break.
By the way, I never requested a permit for my daughter’s lemonade stand she sets up on the corner. Let me know how much I owe, and if I’m facing any jail time.
