Or is the fact they weren't properly registered at the time of the raid the only thing that matters in this case, and they remain illegal contraband? <br /><br />Naturally, I don't expect any sort of reasonable approach when it comes to the behavior of PLCB, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they would just hold onto them forever (despite what was said initially about holding onto them only until some time after a presiding ALJ makes a ruling).John M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-39797114924106219722010-03-10T14:04:18.946-05:002010-03-10T14:04:18.946-05:00Supplication is listed today.

Obviously, the PLCB has not given a lot of thought as to what the probable effect these continued raids are likely to have on local business (and the impression I get is they probably couldn't care less even if they thought about it). Why they think conducting these raids is a more efficient way to enforce compliance of the registration laws is anyone's gusss (as opposed to a quiet word about the problem in person or over the phone).<br /><br />In any event, the only hope I have is that their continued mismanagement (other descriptiions come to mind, but let's be kind) of this situation will eventually lead to some significant changes in the State Liquor Laws and, perhaps even the eventual elimination of the PLCB and their henchmen. <br /><br />Based on what I've seen so far, if their jobs are ever eliminated, I think most of the PLCB members could just barely handle a job flipping burgers at McDonalds.John M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-66439252385305545362010-03-10T00:03:45.604-05:002010-03-10T00:03:45.604-05:00Lew, thanks for sharing this news so quickly.

I'm glad I didn't do it after reading this. It just makes me angrier and angrier... Thanks for never throwing in the towel and keeping us all informed.Carolynhttp://pubcrawlin.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
