Woman’s yard sale to pay medical bills gets shut down
A woman fighting a terminal form of bone cancer is trying to raise money to help pay bills with a few weekend garage sales, but the city of Salem says she’s breaking the law and is shutting her down.
Jan Cline had no idea, but the city of Salem has a clear law that states a person can only have three yard sales a year.
Cline has been selling her stuff in the backyard for a few weekends and said she thought she’d be fine by keeping the sale out of everyone’s way.
“It’s a struggle,†Cline says. “It’s a struggle for me because I’m very independent, used to taking care of myself.â€

I can imagine that when this woman said she is, independent and used to taking care of herself, that concept is foreign to the primitives.

1. Some horrible human being reported her most likely
so sad how people in our country have become venomous to one another.
Probably was a DUmmy who was worried that she wasn't collecting sales tax.

2. Boy, that's just mean.
Ugly, cruel. What's with this country?
This is what you want from our country, the govt involved in everything.

3. Bet the ass that reported her belongs to a church and is a member of the Tea Party
I doubt it, I would imagine that tea party people would appreciate what she is doing, she's trying to raise money instead of sitting there with open hands demanding that taxpayers fill them.

4. Sure seems like it
Teabaggers are really selfish humans.
Yet she says she's used to taking care of herself, why would a tea party person find fault with that, and report her?

9. those cannisters you see on convenience store counters
usually with a sign attached like "Help Pay Medical Bills - Family Has No Insurance"
what a sad situation this country is in.
I bet you reach in and take a few dollars from those.

11. you mean, the cops receiving the call
couldn't just 'forget' to go around a visit her for a couple of weeks or so?? Garage sales are such high priority? And I agree, the neighbors should have stepped up and allowed her to use their lawns for a few more weeks. What happened to american revolutionary spirit?
Liberalism crushed it, is what happened.
I love how when the govt gets intrusive like this, the DUmmies bitch and whine, yet they support the govt controlling everything.
At least 0bamacare will be kind enough to give her a pain pill.
