Madison officials say bar policies that deny entry to anyone without a valid driver?s license or passport could be discriminatory, and the city is working on educating bar owners about what is and isn?t acceptable.
“It?s been clearly documented who does and doesn?t have driver?s licenses in the state of Wisconsin,” said Mark Woulf, alcohol policy coordinator for Madison, citing a vast divide between blacks and whites. “That alone raises eyebrows and could easily be determined to be discriminatory.”
