COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Cuyahoga County bars and restaurants catering to Republican National Convention delegates next summer would be allowed to serve beer and alcohol until 4 a.m., under language added to the Ohio Senate's budget plan.
The provision, still under debate, would allow local officials to issue waivers for businesses to continue booze sales past the usual 2:30 a.m. cutoff time during the convention, scheduled for July 18-21, 2016.
If passed, Cleveland would only grant such waivers to a "very limited" number of businesses that are likely to be frequented by large numbers of conventioneers, such as bars in hotels where Republican delegates are staying, according to Alesha Washington of the Greater Cleveland Partnership, which backs the idea.
Liquor license holders would have to apply for a waiver at least 120 days in advance, under the proposal.

Who cares about the GOP and their drunken, whoring,
lying, SOP?
After continuing to impose ObamaCARE and now
the odious Trade Agreement which the GOP promised
to stop, the GOP has now committed suicide.

Sounds like crony capitalism to me. Why not everybody?
How about the brothels and prostitutes? Do they get a temporary waiver from prosecution for being a ‘likely’ Republican meeting place?
WHAT COULD GO WRONG???
I’ll be drowning my sorrows with booze after the convention.
That’s sad...
Typical of Rube Goldberg-esque government dysfunction, these clowns think to pass special legislation before they think of the mini-bars in their hotel rooms...
It sounds like a violation of the 14th amendment to me...
Special rules for the special people of the GOPe.
And people wonder why the Republican Party is viewed by the American people as a big collection of hypocrites and buffoons.
All true.
But why not let the bars in Ohio, and the state of Ohio, profit from their demise?
Death of a Clown - The Kinks
My makeup is dry and it clags round my chin
Im drowning my sorrows in whiskey and gin
The lion tamers whip doesnt crack anymore
The lions they wont fight and the tigers wont roar
So, lets all drink to the death of a clown
Wont someone help me to break up this crown
Lets all drink to the death of a clown
Lets all drink to the death of a clown
The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor
Nobody needs fortunes told anymore
The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees
And frantically looking for runaway fleas
Lets all drink to the death of a clown
So, wont someone help me to break up this crown
Lets all drink to the death of a clown
Lets all drink to the death of a clown
What difference does it make?
GOP called me last night asking for money. I told them to quit calling.
You might want to keep your teenage (and younger) boys
off the street and out of sight, while the GOP is in town.
Let them drink low beer only! 3.2% all the way! Bastards!
If the GOP were smart (which they’re not), they’d hold their convention at sea.
Bartenders know: Democrats spend...Republicans tip!
The simple fact of considering such legislation is an admission that our political class considers themselves a ruling class! When enough people wake up, things will get ugly....
