Angela Prattis, a Pennsylvania lunch lady has been fined $600 per day for handing out food to needy children. Officials are claiming that the generous lunch lady did not obtain an ordinance variance which Chester township officials maintain she needs to conduct such charitable activities.

According to The Blaze, The special permit, which Prattis failed to obtain, carries a $1,000 price tag since the meals are donated through education department funds under the guidance of the Archdiocese Philadelphia.

Reports indicate that Prattis began handing out meals to needy children after she moved to the Trainer, Pennsylvania area several years ago.

The lunch lady first started distributing meals to underprivileged children at the Church of the Overcomer. She then started utilizing the gazebo on her own property to feed approximately 60 needy area children during the summer months when schools that often provide needy kids with much-appreciated breakfasts and lunches are closed.

"I'm not stopping. These kids are hungry. I'm not tearing down the community. I'm keeping the children out of harm's way," Prattis told the Daily Times. "Last Friday, I had 20 children walk to my house in the pouring rain for lunch, and at 2 pm they came back for a snack. Tell me this program is not needed."

now i'm far from a right winger. but this is when Govvy regulation goes wrong.

this is the part of the govvy that needs to be fixed. dont stop a good thing just cause they aint using your overpriced way of doing things. whats the point? to help kids or for the govvy to get money via me buying that license?

thats one of those situations where a program isnt working properly. but it doesnt need to be scrapped like most repubs would say. it needs to be FIXED.
