Wichita Officials Seek Change to liquor ban law
Wichita police and city officials at the inaugural Civic Center event criticized the state liquor ban as unenforceable. Police Chief Merrell Kirkpatrick called it ineffective, noting lawmakers themselves broke the law. City Manager Ralph Walz declined to explain the beverage at the event, saying some enforcement is not 100 percent. Officials have proposed legislative repeal or city control to permit liquor by the drink at the auditorium and the municipal airport restaurant.
