business license?

[David Ilvedson]

Believe it or not, we're suppose to be licensed in every city we do work.  Each City would like that anyway...I am licensed in my town but nowhere else.  I do business in one nearby city for their rec. dept.  That City's accounting dept. apparently keeps track of checks to out of town businessess.  I got a letter for a couple of years informing me I needed a business license or it would be forwarded to the legal dept.  I filed it in the round file and after a few years they quit bothering me.  If you pay them once your hooked!
