This goes along with the practice of some leftist cities that fined homeowners for hosting Bible study meetings in their homes or shutting down children’s lemonade stands.
There you go again, government trying to micromanage people’s lives. I don’t know the politics of this area but my bet is this is a DemoRat inspired idea…they just love making people conform to their IDEOLOGY…forget FREEDOM….COMRADES!
