Couple faces fines for opening house to strangers
In Danville Kentucky Mark and Tammy LaPalme faced an $8000 fine after a jury found their single family home violated a zoning ordinance by serving as a group home for homeless men. Neighbors complained of security concerns while the couple defended their Christian charity and open hospitality policy. The family relies on church ties as they adjust to near bankruptcy and ongoing public scrutiny.
