So, if I wanted to be the town clerk I could refuse to issue hunting/fishing licenses (in Maine) due to veganism? Awesome.

But as the Bible says, it’s easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle than to get a rich person into heaven. So the city of San Antonio is making her $2000 less rich, thereby making it that much easier to get her into…
