Gotta love these stories where the politician thinks he knows how to manage the amusement park better than its managers. Butt out!
And probably got a free case of beer too... ;)
I'll drink to that!
BTW, what's this crap about the park striking a deal with Ferlo? Are they admitting that individual legislators can override state agencies and make their own deals with private businesses?
More than likely, limiting sales to two designated areas was all that the park wanted to do anyway, and limiting the hours in which alcohol could be sold was a condition set by the LCB. This guy had nothing to do with it, but he gets to puff his chest out and show that he's protecting his constituents.
