There's Always Money in the Lemonade Stand
b'With summer on the horizon, we\\u2019re revisiting one of our all-time favorite stories! Harry Rosenblum, host of Feast Yr Ears shares the history of lemonade stands and enlists his daughter, Moxie, to provide some invaluable operational advice. Plus, HRN board member and resident accountant JoAnn \\u201cFlash\\u201d Fleming has financial tips for all you lemonade entrepreneurs.\\n\\nWhy are we rerunning this story now? Believe it or not, running a lemonade stand in New York without a permit is a fineable offense. Last year, the health department shut down a 7-year-old\\u2019s roadside operation for failing to pony up the $30 for a year-long permit. This caught the attention of state senator Jim Tedesco, who is now sponsoring a bill dubbed \\u201cBrendan\\u2019s Lemon-Aid Law\\u201d \\u2013 named after the boy whose stand was shut down.\\n\\nLast week, the bill was passed by the Senate Health Committee with bipartisan support. It now awaits further committee review in both the state Senate and Assembly before heading to Governor Cuomo\\u2019s desk for his signature. If passed, the law would take effect immediately and exempt kids 16 and under from paying a $30 yearlong permit fee to run a lemonade stand.'
