City faces $9000 revenue loss over brewery licenses
Indications show the city will lose about $9000 in revenue unless a new ordinance governing brewery licenses is passed. Nine local breweries have not paid the $1000 license, even though their 1699 license expired last Saturday. License inspector Manning visited brewers Tuesday. while no firm pledge was given, this is the understood outcome. The issue follows Judge Baker’s federal ruling in Terre Haute that licensing breweries as a tax is unconstitutional and may be reworked as police regulation. An ordinance aligned with the decision is likely to be introduced.
