The leftists closed down his lemonade stand because he was charging a fair price to his customers and undercutting the rip-off price the nearby county fair was charging: $0.75 vs. $7.00!
The shutdown happened after greedy vendors at the fair complained he was taking away their business, and while they could have broken a few bones, they decided just turning him in would be less of a hassle.
Young Mulvaney was selling lemonade, water and Sno-cones from the porch of his parent's home, located right outside the Saratoga County Fair in upstate New York. [They also have a fine racetrack there].
A woman clad in a Health Department tee-shirt showed up on Friday and shut down the kid's operation because he didn't have a permit.
Perhaps he would have gotten a permit, but he is too short to reach the counter.
The state officials have batted it back and forth, first they said the Health Department doesn't regulate lemonade stands, and they initially apologized when the story went public.
"We are working to better understand the situation but in the meantime want to assure the community that DOH does not issue permits for or oversee lemonade stands," spokesperson Jill Montag told The Post.
But just 24 hours later, the DOH did "an Obama" and said a permit was required after all. It costs $30 for the year and they even said they would help the family get the permit [by providing little Brendan with a step-stool].
There was no reaction from the block of wood known as Gov. Andrew Cuomo or his office.
