Hi folks,

Good grief.

Finally, and on Mardi Gras, I agree with Glenn about beer and wine.

Bill would allow Saukville to grant extra liquor license

For several years, the Messina Italian restaurant owners in Saukville have unsuccessfully worked with two state legislators to change a state law that limits the number of liquor licenses that can be issued.

But last week, state Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) took a more parochial approach.

He introduced a bill that would allow the Saukville Village Board to issue one Class B liquor license in addition to the nine Class B licenses allowed under the village's quota."

A bill that subverts established law in order to help a small family business provide good food? Great idea.

Why doesn't he do this all the time?
