Also, does anyone know the people who now live in that building on the corner of 12th and A? I can't imagine they'd be happy about this.

She informed me there are three bar owners on the committee (out of nine members). So, Jill, your characterization that "most of the committee members" are bar owners and thereby have a conflict of interest is incorrect. For the record, I agree with you, though, that there is no good reason to rubber stamp liquor license transfers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23477223.post-48711222545658679672010-02-25T13:58:22.860-05:002010-02-25T13:58:22.860-05:00There are definitely other bar owners on the commi...There are definitely other bar owners on the committee but I'm not sure what the overall makeup of it is.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362859175287085919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23477223.post-69902734263210324532010-02-25T13:14:25.458-05:002010-02-25T13:14:25.458-05:00"That is because most of the committee member..."That is because most of the committee members are bar owners and know a golden ticket when they see one."<br /><br />I know one of the CB-3 Liquor Authority Committee members (the former CB-3 president, David McWater) is a bar owner.

This is a guideline, not an actual rule, which means it means nothing.<br /><br />Re SuperDive, unfortunately my argument doesn't hold water here, and my guess is it will go through and the new owners will sell SuperKegs.<br /><br />I'm worried about the space for The Raven which is also up for a transfer license hearing next month.

I completely agree - I really don't understand how the board can be so rigid with new businesses, but allow these transfers. I thought there was a rule that only a certain number of bars could exist within a certain distance from each other. Maybe that only applies to new licenses?Laura Goggin Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517481509431547970noreply@blogger.com
