The Janesville City Council agreed to allow the Janesville Noon Lions Club to place gumball machines in city facilities for free. At first glance, this appears to be no big deal. Afterall, we are talking about gumballs here. But in all fairness, this decision opens city facilities to all service groups who want to receive financial gain from selling their products at city facilities.
Only after approving the Lions Club, but not before, the council instructed the city manager to come up with a set of guidelines to regulate private vendors.
Moral to the story: What good is government if you can't use it to your own competitive advantage?
