UPDATED: The Ice Cream Kids V. City Hall

 

Later today, a bill authored by State Sen. Dale Kooyenga (R-Brookfield) that would allow minors to operate a temporary stand without a permit or license will receive a public hearing in the Senate Committee On Public Benefits, Licensing, & State-Federal Relations.

Not sure why we need a new state law to “solve” this problem but if that is what it takes so kids like the Ruffi brothers can make some money in the summer running an ice cream stand, good for Sen. Kooyenga.

Watch the Ruffi brothers take on city hall by clicking on the video above.
