Nanny State Alert: Grow a garden in Orlando, pay a $500 a day fine...
Isn't the right to feed yourself and your family a fundamental human right?
ORLANDO, Fla. -
A
College Park couple's vegetable garden is on the chopping block again
after the city threatened fines if they don't uproot it by Thursday,
according to the Institute for Justice Florida Chapter.
Jason
and Jennifer Helvenston are launching "Plant a Seed, Change the Law," a
protest of Orlando’s law, which they say violates their constitutional
right to peacefully use their property to grow their own food.
In November,
Local 6 broke the story about the controversial garden after the city
told the Helvenstons their 25-by-25-foot front yard vegetable garden was not in compliance with the city's code. ...
According to Ari Bargil, an attorney for the Institute for
Justice, the Helvenstons have a scheduled inspection and will be fined
starting on Thursday, up to $500 a day.
