Seriously? We're shutting down a kid's lemonade stand? SMH...
A Capital District state senator is working to change state law after the Health Department shut down a 7-year-old boy's lemonade stand in Saratoga County.

Tedisco is also asking the Health Department to waive the permit fee for Brendan, and to reimburse him for lost wages.
