We Roast Coffee Company show-cause hearing continued pending tax clearance
Summary
The hearing for We Roast Coffee Company was continued after the owner said taxes are paid but a state 'letter of good standing' had not yet arrived; the council will continue the matter to the next meeting and will remove it from the calendar if the town clerk receives the paperwork beforehand.
The council held a show-cause session for We Roast Coffee Company after town staff noted the absence of an official letter of good standing from the division of taxation.
The owner, appearing before the board, said he had paid taxes and was "waiting on the letter of good standing" and expected it in the next few days. "I have paid all of the taxes," he said, adding he was working with a helpful contact at the division of taxation to resolve the paperwork.
Council members acknowledged the difficulty some applicants face with state portals and paperwork and moved to continue the matter to the next meeting. The council agreed that, if the town clerk receives the necessary documentation before the next meeting, the applicant would not need to attend.
Why it matters: Licensing protections and statutory compliance require confirmation of tax status for some licenses; continuing the hearing preserves due process while allowing the applicant time to provide required documentation.
What’s next: The town clerk will accept the division-of-taxation letter if it arrives; otherwise the matter will be heard at the next council meeting.
