New York State of Mind: 2 13-year-olds' Bake Sale Killed Due to no Business License

America has a new villain. His name is Michael Wolfensohn.

Andrew DeMarchis and Kevin Graff were just trying to earn some pocket change by selling an assortment of cupcakes, brownies and Rice Krispies treats in a Chappaqua park.
But the middle school entrepreneurs were shut down by local police at the request of a New Castle city councilman. He called the cops because the boys were operating a business without a license, according to The Journal News.
