A federal judge yesterday sided with a group of
carry-out owners and ruled that the city of Toledo cannot begin
enforcing its new convenience store licensing law.
U.S. District Judge James Carr said the city could not until July 1
enforce the law, which applies to convenience stores smaller than 5,000
square feet selling food and beverages and requires them to be licensed
at a cost of $250 a year. The law also requires owners to install
security cameras and imposes a $100 a day fine for those who do not
comply.

I 'm wondering when the City of Toledo will start charging an annual fee for residents who own more than one car. I can hear Carty trying to explain how the fees will help repair city streets. OOPS! I probably gave Carty a new idea.
