Liquor Law Ruling Sets Harsher Tone For Offenders
Judge Barculo of the New York Supreme Court at Poughkeepsie imposes options to curb illicit liquor sales. He treats violations as serious, scales penalties by conduct, and urges licensing as a gatekeeping measure. The decision targets widespread indiscriminate sales and outlines future enforcement, including suspensions for those who reform and prison for those who persist. It notes about 200 tavern outlets for 60 residents in the village and calls for national adoption of stricter controls.
