Jon Kawaguchi Now Officially the Biggest Asshole in Portland Oregon
These are the items that make you want to bring the solid punch in the nose back as a corrective to local bureaucrats: Portland lemonade stand runs into health inspectors, needs $120 license to operate | OregonLive.com
It's hardly unusual to hear small-business owners gripe about licensing requirements or complain that heavy-handed regulations are driving them into the red.Hey, Kawaguchi, you useless chunk of protoplasm. Yeah, you.... and the horse you rode in. Where's the father? Where's the hot tar? Where's the rail? When are these morons going to be put on an ice floe in the arctic circle?So when Multnomah County shut down an enterprise last week for operating without a license, you might just sigh and say, there they go again.
Except this entrepreneur was a 7-year-old named Julie Murphy. Her business was a lemonade stand at the Last Thursday monthly art fair in Northeast Portland. The government regulation she violated? Failing to get a $120 temporary restaurant license.
Turns out that kids' lemonade stands -- those constants of summertime -- are supposed to get a permit in Oregon, particularly at big events that happen to be patrolled regularly by county health inspectors.
"I understand the reason behind what they're doing and it's a neighborhood event, and they're trying to generate revenue," said Jon Kawaguchi, environmental health supervisor for the Multnomah County Health Department. "But we still need to put the public's health first."
Lillian Shirley is the Director of this collection of cretins and parasites at the Multnomah County Health Department. Her email address is:

He has a clipboard for a soul. And I bet he dreams in triplicate.

Is it the same Jon Kawaguchi, though? And he's the practice drummer.
