Some vendors fined during Tardy Gras issued refunds by city
MOBILE, Alabama (WALA) Some vendors fined by the City of Mobile for selling goods during the Tardy Gras celebrations were refunded on Monday.
City revenue workers were at booths on Friday night issuing fines to booths that did not have the “special events” license to do business. Downtown business owner John Serda said the vendors who set up on his property were not aware they needed the license.
During the events on Friday, city workers told vendors they needed to pay the fine or pack up and leave.
Serda said the vendors who were fined were refunded on Monday.

WINDSOR, Conn. – Amazon has temporarily shut down a new warehouse construction site in Connecticut after a seventh noose was found hanging over a beam, a series of incidents local police called “potential” hate crimes.
Another rope tied like a noose was discovered Wednesday at the site in Windsor, about 10 miles north of Hartford, prompting an intensified law enforcement investigation and calls by the state NAACP on Thursday for the suspect or suspects to be brought to justice.
