Mart Liquors Petitions to Renew Liquor License - Public Hearing June 8th!
Just another one of those things that seem to never get on the ANC 8C agenda. Perhaps if community concerns were "allowed" to be expressed during ANC 8C meetings the Commissioners would have been up to speed on this. Then again we are talking about ANC 8C so that would never ever happen. Just another reason that the majority of ANC 8C Commissioners need to be replaced. If our ANC was proactive perhaps they would have encouraged community support that could have possibly shut this liquor store down or at the very least require them to make some operating improvements that would have benefited the community.
As such yet another thing has been allowed to fall through the cracks so we as concerned citizens, neighbors, business owners etc will need to take the lead and organize ourselves to effect positive change in our community. Whether you are in favor or disapprove of Mart Liquor having their liquor license renewed we all need to be much more proactive in our quest for positive change in our community - even if our elected leaders are not.
