This will likely not stand legal scrutiny
My businesses were forced shut by city of Nashville during the 2010 flood
For about 5 weeks
For no good reason just purely emotion
We hired lawyers and lobbyists and got our money back
FEMA won’t help much either
Money after riots or disasters is all about politics
Nashville city council is around 40% black
We “persuaded” them to our way of thinking and they vote in block
That solved all our problems
This will — or at least should — be struck down by the federal courts as unconstitutional.
It should...in a non-upside down world. I’m sure Loretta Lynch is looking in to it’s unconstitutionality, as well. /s
It’s not that Prohibition won’t work, it’s just that we haven’t had the RIGHT people in charge of it yet.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. /s
Another left wing outrage.
These stores would still be in business if the mayor had not wanted to give her people the space to riot. Now she has taken their livelihoods away through the back door.
No T-Bird for you!
Maybe it's because business is good there.......................really good......................
The bum wine lobby (Thunderbird, Night Train) will lobby to get this ruling reversed. They are too big to fail.
If the customer base supports multiple vendors of a product, then so be it!
Well Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, there shouldn’t be ANY so called “recovery money”!! This was no accident or natural disaster... you and your people deliberately burned that city down.
People have died because of your incompetence and racism, you shouldn’t be deciding who gets a dime of the publics money, instead, you should be counting piles of fly sh!t on your cell wall just to pass the time away....... and wondering what’s on the prison menu for today.
As the old saying goes, “This is not my circus, those are not my monkeys.”
Now there will be liquor deserts....
I see it. I saw it. So?
Why should any get our money?
And it is our money. You know most will be federal money.
baltimore is about HEROIN not booze
what do you think the pos was selling when he ran from the cops in the first place...
he ran to a building dumped the dope and doubled back towards the cops and got arrested...
It’s not that any or none should get our money, it’s that the woman that caused a lot of this damage gets to pick and choose who gets disaster aid.
There was not a disaster.
I am not outraged by this.
No one should be.
I pointed out the distorted reporting.
Nothing is stopping these businesses from continuing.
This is an interesting area of talk. First the amount of shoplifting prevents a store from making a profit. Then there is the lack of civics as you mention that drive people away. Lastly You see people looking at the boarded up buildings. There is a limited amount of money to purchase goods and services. They can only support so much.
Just because it was man-made instead of nature, it is still a disaster to these businesses.
Baltimore, you are a lost cause... I mean, if I had a grandfathered liquor store in a residential neighborhood, and it was damaged I can’t get a grant to fix my store, yet if across the street, a liquor store wasn’t damaged it can stay open. I’d sue the city...restraint of trade.
I believe Maryland taxes booze at 9%. There may be federal and city taxes on top of that. I hope they lose all that revenue.
