    State threatens suit against boat hobbyists

    Hmmm, if I build my own boat I'm a "dealer".

    Papee,

    This is a first rate example of bureaucracy running amok.

    At least it's getting press attention, so the higher ups are going to have to deal with numerous outraged citizens, instead of the guy having to go it alone with an out of control auditor.

    The bad part is, he may still end up having to pay the tax, but I doubt it. I suspect that there will be a clarification of the rules as a result of the press attention.

    I hope so anyway.

    I hope they don't hear about this in MN. I doesn't take much for them to dream up a new tax around here

    Buster,

    Yeah, I hear you. I'm getting ready to start cooking dinner.

    Since I will not be eating it all by myself, does that mean that I'm operating a restaurant?

    (I have only one non-paying customer, so it "MAY" be O.K.)

    Oh crap, I just gave the Scrappy Cat her hairball treats. I guess that I might be practicing veterinary medicine without a license.

    Sure hope that I don't get caught on that one ...

    The whole thing is ludicrous.

    I hope that they get it worked out soon.

    Thanks,

    Duane
