Since 2009, Tennessee officials have levied nearly $100,000 in fines on African-style hair braiders—not for any health or sanitation violations but simply for operating without a license.

IJ Legislative Analyst Nick Sibilla has the story at Forbes.com. Man is convicted in 2004, sentenced to… [read post]
