It appears that there are far more people that have commented on the Gazette's article that have had negative experiences with Terri Huber than those that have come to her defense. If the JFM's manager and board is concerned about health and safety, then those concerns need to be addressed and dealt with on ALL aspects.

It also appears that the Council didn't have all their facts when they voted to waive all the fees required by the JFM. So in other words, Janesville tax payers pay for the JFM because the manager won't allow vendors in who are willing to pay to participate, which in turn those fees would pay the City their due fees.

Boy Ms Huber sure opened up a mess on this one.

Councilman Perotto was right on this one...there are two sides to this story and, so far the Gazette and the general public seem far to fast to condemn rather than learn the facts. I encourage everyone to research farmer's markets and the variety of policies across the nation. Talk to insurance companies and learn about the health and safety costs of liability. Then come to the local board meetings and learn the many valid justifications for established policies in Janesville.
