racer254 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin wants to roll out the barrel into the early morning hours for people coming for the Democratic National Convention this summer. Bars across the state will be able to stay open until 4 a.m. for the four nights of the convention under a bipartisan bill approved unanimously by a state Assembly committee on Thursday. Expanding the hours had support from groups representing the state's bars, restaurants and tourism industries. The proposal originally allowed only bars in and around Milwaukee to stay open later, but it was expanded to statewide. The bill still must pass the Legislature and be signed by the governor before becoming law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted February 14, 2020 Gold Member Share Posted February 14, 2020 Bars should be able to stay open and serve 24/7 if they like. Not like it would hurt anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 MADISON, Wis. — Extending bar hours in Wisconsin until 4 a.m. for the week of the Democratic National Convention appears to be in jeopardy. Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said Wednesday that concerns about negative impacts including more drunken drivers on the road has dampened enthusiasm for the move. The Assembly is scheduled to pass the bill on Thursday, its last session day of the year. That will put the focus on the Senate, which was not scheduled to vote on it Wednesday and is meeting just one more time in March for the year. Fitzgerald says the idea has lost momentum.

The Wisconsin Tavern League is arguably one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the State of Wisconsin, I would suggest that you contact them for a definitive answer. Now my uneducated guess is that tavern hours are a community based decision along with the desire of the tavern owner of not having to manage what's already a grueling cash business with longer hours, and it's not such a great return on investment seeing that the usual post midnight crowd consists of drunks, whores, high monsters, and other troublesome folks that require the use of additional private security and policing patrols. Now as a business owner I can understand tavern owners wanting to take advantage of a special four day tourism event where the probability of having a full house till 4:00 am is very possible and makes the cost of additional employees worthwhile, the additional tax revenue also makes it worthwhile for the municipalities cost of additional police.

Sorry, you could very well be correct. The problem is that this does not happen and has not happened for any other "special four day tourism event" Summerfest...NOPE, Independence Day? NOPE. Memorial day, NOPE. Labor Day, NOPE. So again, it goes back to the elite wanting something special for them.

First off Summerfest is the last party any community would want the bars open till 4:00 am, my first Summerfest was in 79 or 80.....and yes the last thing Milwaukee needed was 4:00 am bars for that party or any future young adult party's. Memorial Day is a solemn day of remebrance for that have served and sacrificed for the country, and Independence Day is a celebration of our independence along with remembrance for those that sacrificed to make that day in Philadelphia 1776 a reality. Any political party convention is an opportunity for a community to capitilize on is a once in a lifetime event, and when I say community that includes the business community along with the taxpayer community......conventions are about rallying the team, a pep rally if you will. 9 hours ago, AKIQPilot said: Nailed it.

Thank you sir! I just call it like it is. Some fucking elites thinking they should be allowed to do something not normally done. It's great that the bars and restaurants will benefit, but Sorry that's what it is to me. Edited February 21, 2020 by racer254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
