Local action on drink specials still on ice

La Crosse will continue to shelve any efforts to limit drink specials, despite a May Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling that shut down price fixing charges against Madison taverns.

The cityâ??s Alcohol Oversight Committee agreed this week to wait out the verdict in a corresponding lawsuit filed in federal district court.

Local officials said they didnâ??t want to invite a lawsuit by eliminating drink specials or encouraging taverns to do so before the federal court has its say.
