I think since this town would never not allow more alcohol sales that every time they grant a liquor license the person requesting the liquor license should be required to make a donation to the city to start some sort of alcohol awareness and programs for our youth, and the city should match that amount. The adults in this town need to lead by example and take a geniune interest in the youth in this town.
ReplyDeleteThe adults in this town who do not have children have a right to drink as well. The righteousness argument from some people is well intentioned, I am sure, however people must be afforded the simple right to live in their own ways as well as long as it conforms with the law.
ReplyDeleteYour morality does not trump my legal rights.
Amen anon, well said. Let me guess chasin the city tax dollars should pay the rest, that is crazy talk
ReplyDeletewhat about adults with kids? They can't drink responsibly?
ReplyDeleteI think adults can drink all they like as well as its responsible. I have no problems with adults drinking.
ReplyDeleteNO wondner why there is so much underage drinking in this town, no one wants to account for it.
ReplyDeleteWell then liquor licenses going to resposible businesses should not even be a venue for the unfortunate, yet inevitable, problem of underage drinking.
ReplyDeleteKeeping kids away from drinking is the job of the parents. Not the job of the local businesses.
ReplyDeleteto the last anon,
ReplyDeleteWhat planet are you living on??
Why do you think the state runs sting operations? Because businesses continue to sell alchol and tobacco to MINORS. Business owners everywhere know the rules yet they continue to violate them by continuing to sell those items to minors. If it were soley the parents obligation to keep minors away from these items then the parent would be ticketed instead of the business.
