Patrick Erwin: Downtown dwellers don’t deserve slap

Dear Editor:

….The students are a valuable and core part of our community, but they are no longer the only valuable part of the spectrum as far as life downtown. Those “glistening condominiums” are filled with people who have made an investment in Madison – an emotional investment as well as an economic one that strengthens our tax base.

….Capping the number of liquor licenses is not, as Austin King suggested in the Times, a return to Prohibition. It’s a matter of common sense that hundreds of other cities have already implemented.
