I'd be very surprised if these notices were reviewed by a live person before
being sent out.  They probably ran a list of anyone who reported any profit
at all and sent the letter if they didn't have a license.  When the issue
was reported, the city should have said, "Oh, we should put a cap on that"
and re-send an "oh, never mind" notice to anyone who made, say, less than
$500 for the year (because at that point it's likely just odds and ends
income that isn't a real "business".  Unfortunately many business and
governments are too concerned about not admitting that a) a mistake was
made, or b) they forgot a special consideration, that common sense usually
gets left behind in the ensuing rush to appear perfect.  The same thing
happens with overzealous city employees who shut down kid-run once-a-summer
lemonade stands.  Where has common courtesy gone off to?
