Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo
"Today
I directed the Department of Health to reach a resolution with the
Mulvaney family to ensure that Brendan's Lemonade Stand can continue to
operate. If a permit is needed, I will personally pay for any necessary
fees. We support Brendan's entrepreneurial spirit and wish him the best
of luck."
By
ALBANY -- Talk about turning lemonade into lemons.
A
7-year-old boy had to shut down his lemonade stand outside the Saratoga
County Fair on Friday after his family was ordered to do so by an
inspector for the state Health Department.
Brendan Mulvaney, 7, and his family told the Daily Gazette in Schenectady
last weekend about having to close his stand that was outside the
Saratoga County Fair — which was near where his family lives. The family
charged fair goers for parking on their lawn, as well as offered the
lemonade.
"She didn't introduce herself, she didn't leave a card," Brendan's dad, Sean, told the Albany Times Union in Albany, on Sunday.
