Flawed liquor license oath prompts state wide review
A defect in the oath required by the 1907 O’Brien Law caused State’s Attorney Judson to nolle perjury charges against Frank Izzo. County officials consider rewriting the oath to align with statute, amid remonstrances from the Law Enforcement Society. Izzo’s license at 139 Willard street was granted after officials found him fit, despite earlier objection that he was not bona fide owner of the business. The dispute highlights broader questions over discretionary power and who may lawfully apply for liquor licenses.
