A teenage boy’s fishing bait stand, stocked with worms, sodas and candy, is a threat to government order. Max McKinney’s home-built, 6’-by-15’ shed perched at the end of his farm driveway in Spooner, Wis., has been deemed a zoning violation and shut down by county officials.

In the meantime thousands of illegal alien beaner young teanagers are tending weed plants in California and the MSM are calling them "victims" of the evil ICE gestapo.
ReplyDeleteDrag the building back out of sight from the road, put a sign at the end of the drive way advertising worms for sale. When the zoning people come to take a look, have them arrested for trespassing.
ReplyDeleteThinking somebody in local govt. Also sells bait. Can't have competition
ReplyDeleteHeading on NC 211 to Southport, there was a C-Store that said "Coffee & Worms" on the side of the gas pump canopy. Got tore down around 10 years ago for a shopping center.
ReplyDeleteSounds like he can sell agricultural things only, so he should provide some recipe cards with the worms and carry on.
ReplyDeleteWorms rejuvenate the soil and are essential for horticulture. Advertise them according. What people do with them ain't his business.
DeleteKid is awesome, gramps sounds awesome too, county officials need a visit in the night...
ReplyDelete“I’m from the government and I’m here to help”… A-holes…
ReplyDeleteDig a little deeper. Some county bureaucrat has a relative in the area of the lake either running or opening a "bait stand" crooks hate competition
ReplyDeleteThe city will buy him a a PlayStation this week. They DO NOT WANT HARD WORKING KIDS not going to be on the government's trough.
ReplyDeleteHmmm- appears they’ve backed down- https://co.washburn.wi.us/for-immediate-release-from-chairman-tim-kessler-7-15-2025/
ReplyDeleteThe article you linked has a link to the state code. My guess is the county got a nasty letter from an attorney threatening to cost the county big bucks.
DeleteZoning officials need to have their ass beaten, their tires deflated, the local restaurants should deny them service, etc.
ReplyDeleteUntil, and unless, local people stop this sort of behavior in it's tracks, it will continue.
Ridiculous bullshit
ReplyDeleteThis community needs to drag these intolerant assholes out of their offices and beat the shit out of all the them then kick their asses out of the county

I hope that many people would donate ammo to this young entrepreneur.
ReplyDeleteDrop the T-shirts and advertise the worms for compost use. My guess is somebody else who was selling bait complained and county officials never admit to being petty.
ReplyDeleteI'm a firm believer in recall elections to sort out this sort of thing. Elected officials start listening when their cushy jobs are threatened.
ReplyDeleteEvery knee must bend.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I think I hate them enough something like this comes along.

"According to Beers, a “concern” was submitted by a local citizen, triggering county action."
ReplyDeleteThere you go. Busybody wants to live in an HMO.
