My husband usually asks solicitors if they have a business license to<br>sell in town. (They rarely do.) Then he informs them of the law (that<br>you must register your business at the Town Offices (5008 Queensbury<br>Road) in order to sell anything in town boundaries.)<br><br>If you are feeling irritable, you can get the name of their business<br>and then watch what they do when they leave. If they go to another<br>house, you can call the police (keep in mind that responding to this<br>kind of call is lower priority than dealing with a crime in progress.)<br><br>If the salesperson leaves, problem solved.<br><br>I don't know the laws about raising money for charities (school,<br>girl/boy scouts, etc.) I think that may be just fine. (I kind of hope<br>so....)<br><br>-Sarah<br>_______________________________________________<br>TownTalk mailing list<br>To post to the list, send mail to <a ymailto="mailto:TownTalk@riverdale-park.org"
