George Wallace On Line 2
By Mitch Berg
And poof, just like that, people who always venerated “due process” and chanted “NO KINGS” on demand…
…had always opposed due process and believed themselves kings.
It’s not news – liquor licensing has always been a political meat tenderizer, used to beat businesses into whatever the powers that be want the business to comply with, frequently things most of us agree with (like punishing flagrant serving of minors or lots of unchecked brawling.
But to “punish” businesses for patronizing a class of people who are doing something completely legal?

convincing the hospitality industry NOT to invest in any Minneapolis properties seems like a good idea, particularly if keeping the city Convention Center busy strikes you as a bad idea.

A boycott of all business in Mpls would be appropriate if the council does anything beyond threats and grand standing. I’m already doing my part to avoid that cesspool.

Seems unless more games are played today the hotels should see there liquor licenses renewed. I think the actual intent all along was to damage the hotels monetarily, they should sue the city.

They might as well turn the convention center into a homeless shelter. Word is that almost every exhibition company is avoiding Minneapolis, due to the children acting up, the outrageous hospitality taxes and the well deserved perception that attendees and exhibitors won’t be safe.

Well, just because they’re getting their liquor licenses renewed doesn’t mean they’re safe–you’ve got the gauntlets of taxes and rioters to run, too.
