Recycling Firm In Gary, Indiana Closed For Non-Compliance

A recycling business operating on Gary’s West Side had its privileges revoked last week when Gary city officials shut down the business for not being in compliance with city ordinances.

The business was discovered to be operating without a general business license. The owners were originally denied an opportunity to apply for a business license because the location, a residential neighborhood, is not zoned for a recycling type business. In addition to operating without a business license, the recycling business was also violating the city’s zoning ordinance.

Columbus, NC Repeals Business Licenses After State Mandate

The Town of Columbus is out approximately $3,500 a year after the state took away municipalities’ ability to charge privilege license taxes, or business licenses.

Columbus Town Council met Thursday, Oct. 15 and approved repealing its business licenses. The main reason being that the privilege tax has been applied inconsistently throughout the state. Privilege licenses are paid to towns and cities for the “privilege” of doing business in municipalities. Similar businesses in nearby towns often ended up paying very different business licenses for the same service because of how each city or town calculated its licenses.

Pender, NE Alcohol Retailers Facing Tribal Tax Unsure Of Future

“We would have to look at not having beer or liquor. I’m worried it’s going to cripple our business,” Jessica Frazey said of what would happen if the Supreme Court rules with previous courts that have said Pender sits within the Omaha Indian Reservation, thus giving the tribe authority to regulate the businesses and impose taxes.

Businesses in Pender that sell alcohol are awaiting the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on whether or not they are subject to an Omaha Tribe of Nebraska ordinance that would require them to buy a tribal liquor license and pay sales taxes to the tribe on top of what they already pay in state licensing fees and taxes.  The additional costs could put some owners out of business.

Sting Targets Unlicensed Contractors In Sacramento, CA

Eleven unlicensed contractors have been netted in a Natomas-area sting, the Contractors State Licensing Board said Tuesday.

The Contractors State License Board has been keeping busy this summer staging multiple sting operations in order to crack down on unlicensed contracting. Just last week, the CSLB cited ten unlicensed contractors in Petaluma, CA. This week eleven more were caught in a sting. All eleven suspects were issued a notice to appear in Sacramento County Superior Court for contracting without a license. Ten of the eleven were also cited for illegal advertising. Contracting law requires unlicensed operators to state in their advertisements that they are not licensed; the penalty is a fine of $700 to $1,000.
