Fathead’s Irish Pub Owner Follows Up on Liquor Laws
A follow up to Fathead’s Irish Pub owner Pat Paden’s address to the Leavenworth County Commission seems to suggest that simply waiting for a reply tends not to yield results.
Adrianne DeWeese reports on the story in the Leavenworth Times.
Paden addressed the commission regarding Leavenworth County’s liquor law and the removal of the 30% food requirement about 3 months ago:
“Please take this opportunity to support local business owners and their request to focus on what is really important to our customers and community,” Paden said during Thursday’s public comment, “by removing this time-consuming duty and antiquated law so that we may provide a relaxed and safe environment to our customers.”
Kansas law allows each county’s board of commissioners to make a motion for a ballot question regarding the requirement, County Counselor David Van Parys said. Van Parys said Kansas also allows individuals to present a petition before the commission that would require the question on a ballot during the General Election or a special election.
Paden said he has not attempted a petition and that he had waited for comment from the commission about their previous meeting three months ago.
