Alcohol panel review called unprecedented

After a May 16 meeting that ran well into the night, the Alcohol License Review Committee will meet again tonight to discuss an “unprecedented” number of establishments singled out for individual review.

According to Ald. Mike Verveer, a voting member of the committee, the ALRC approved the “overwhelming majority” of liquor licenses for Madison bars, restaurants and grocery stores in a single motion at last week’s meeting, but many more establishments than usual were singled out for separated license renewals.
