Exception to Quota

Many of you must have noticed the recent news about a town called Saukville.
Population of about 7000.
They had the same license quota issue.
They got a bill passed (ACT 192) and signed into law via Mark Gottlieb and Sen. Grothman to suspend the quota law for a short period of time to allow the city to issue another license for this one business.

Apparently the thought behind this action was " a family-owned business was going to go bankrupt and 25 people would lose their jobs".
re: JS Online:
State Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) has said he introduced the bill to help one business, Messina Two Inc., 151 Progress Drive, Saukville, get a license to serve liquor in addition to the wine and beer the restaurant serves.

The bill is designed to help just one business because political reality is such that the Tavern League of Wisconsin would not allow a broader-based bill to get passed, Grothman has said."


First of all: good for them.
Second of all: aren't most of us family owned businesses on the brink of bankruptcy with a full liquor license.
