ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - A first of its kind in the nation lawsuit is filed in St. Louis County, defending the right of two sisters to sell Girl Scout cookies from a stand in front of their house.
The Mills sisters — 16-year old Caitlin and 14-year old Abigail — are suing the city of Hazelwood, which shut down their girl scout cookie stand, because it was considered a violation of local occupancy code.
The girl’s are represented by attorney Dave Roland with The Freedom Center of Missouri. Roland says the suit seeks a declaratory judgement — no cash — just a ruling on whether cities have a right to tell a property owner they can’t have a cookie stand.
