Casbah/Biscotties VS Ben Davis/Intuition

[mtraininjax]

Whatever the methods and personal interests of the person who raised objection, I will ask you the same as I have asked others:
Are you saying special zoning for individual restaurants based on a special relationship with a State Rep is in the best interest of the residents?
As someone who lives very close I am OK with Ben raising his concerns even if there was a bit of vengeance involved.

Maybe it was personal between him and Fant, maybe the 2 restaurants were just collateral damage. Davis is vocal on the brewing industry, but going head to head with a state rep on his legislation, when you are trying to win a bigger battle at the State Level..... they have long memories in Tally.

He had nothing to gain for his business. I'd be amused to hear him come out and say he did it for.......the betterment of the community and his heart is in it for Riverside Avondale Preservation.

Would you change your tune if this time next year there's legislation in place that would benefit the area as a whole with regards to alcohol sales, similar to the BlackSheep pitch?

I'm not sure that's much of a concern for him. They already won on the growler bill, that's all over but the crying (and the lawsuits against the state by AB Distributors, which should prove interesting). If his lobbyists can defeat Anheuiser Busch, I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's not really shaking over pissing biscottis off. Just a guess though.

In "spite" of it all,no matter,Biscottis Bar Manager just received nice raise.

And another neighbor is moving out- no need for "Handy" Shoppes.

Patronized MM till darn near close hour May 7.......all the semi-strangers' complimentary shots.......yikes!,wife does not recall the drive home.Can't imagine walking......

Could easily trade a western Duval home site with half acre swim pond for Handy To Shoppes.
