Posted for Susan Heins:last night, one of the bars on Washington got approval by the VNC LUPC to get an expanded alcohol license. Already people are over served on that block and we regularly see folks staggering down the streets late at night on their ways to cars. Setting aside the nuisance factor or outright vandalism, one day someone is going to die from a drunk driving related offense. In my opinion, LUPC had a chance to take leadership here and caved into public pressure from folks who were either employees, investors, or friends of the bar.
