Pleased to find this SUN editorial regarding the License Commission. Well stated and also includes the suggestion of a compromise.
“In this case, we see a simple compromise that can satisfy both the business sector and the public.
The License Commission can hold a 3 p.m. meeting on the first Thursday of the month, followed by a 6:30 p.m. meeting on the third Thursday of the month.
Those who have business before the board can simply inform the commission’s executive secretary as to which slot is convenient for their schedule.
Of course, it won’t solve the problem of giving the same access to all the people all the time, but it is a start in the right direction. Over time, we’d prefer to see the 6:30 p.m. meeting time become the rule rather than the exception.
The License Commission performs a valuable function and does its job well. All it has to do now is become a bit more flexible in continuing its public service”.
