Touraine liquor bill stirs Senate over open bar clause
The Hotel Touraine bill, crafted by Senator Dan Lane’s committee and approved by the Governor, stalled in the Senate amid debate on the term open bar and a postponed vote. Critics warn the 400 foot schoolhouse rule could bar licenses for hotels off other streets, while supporters argue the draft strengthens temperance aims. Senator Taylor pressed for clarification, and a tie vote halted action until Tuesday’s session.
