Ald. Mike Verveer admits “the timing is absolutely atrocious, it couldn’t be worse.”
On Sept. 19, just hours after voting for a Alcohol Density Plan that Verveer promised would stop State Street from turning into Bourbon Street by freezing the number of taverns, he voted with the majority of the city Alcohol License Review Committee to allow Madhatters tavern to open at 651 State Street.
And if the timing is bad, the location is worse.
