Looks like Indiana is getting happy hour back.
Article says senators tried to kill carry out drink options.
Indiana allowed carry out drinks during COVID to help businesses during lockdown.

Did you experience, or come across data that supports the claim that carry out will lead to increasing drunk driving?
-
How do you feel about carry out?

How do you feel about happy hour offerings and encouragement of more or just cheaper alcohol consumption?
Even if teachers aren’t something the legislature should focus on (and I would argue that they are), this should be way far down the priorities list. It just shows how little they’re interested in governing.
But hey, the restaurant and bar lobby is apparently getting it’s money’s worth.
I am betting this is pretty accurate.
I imagine, without reading anything yet, that downtown businesses like restaurants and bars are a pretty decent tax revenue for the city. What else gives them revenue other than income tax, property tax?
I wonder if they’ve talked about anticipated tax increases due to that.
I feel like this is evidenced in the state’s forced three days in office policy. The state gov is spending millions leasing buildings downtown, while downtown businesses are whining about reduced patrons. I understand since they are getting killed by leasing rates.
Just seems like these are measures to support the owners of the city. I guess income means more budget, which could mean better roads and hopefully education.
I like the side effect of getting to carry out drinks.
