Today’s SUN has an aritcle about this weeks meeting and the charges being brought against downtown establishments.
Can we be optimistic that the License Commission will deliver the approriate action for these violations? Considering the attendance at City Council special meeting we can certainly say that we encourage them to do so.
The License Commission agenda is not published as yet but they have another 5 hours to get it done before the deadline per the regulations.
