The only thing that we dont want the suspension, a Liquor Store Without cigarettes does mant. We want to keep it to support our family. We ask to keep our permit and that is the only thing that i can say. It is the first time that it happened and we are trying to do the best that we can. We now, we are trying to take all of the time. We bought something to check it to, and we are trying to work hard on it. How long have you been in business . Well, i have been in seven years but together is three years and a half because i have another liquor but then we decide to be a partner. And what type of training did you give to your employee . Well we tried to explain him and to train him like a month and nevers. And how old is he . He is 42. Okay. Thanks. Anything further . Did you want to speak . No. Okay. Okay.

Was a firsttime offense and i believe that it was a mistake. I guess that i would be inclined to reduce the penalty to ten days, perhaps. As my fellow commissioner had suggested. I do wish that and maybe this is the case that i dont know. But i do wish that part instead of issuing penalties, perhaps, there should be some sort of public education, or public or some kind of training component that the department could impose because it does seem that perhaps it is a lack of training and how to read these licenses and we see a lot of these mistakes. And that i believe are honest mistakes happening especially with some of these firsttime offenses. So apart from that, i do wish that we could see that in the future rather than financial penalties for some of these Business Owners that are struggling in this economy.

Some are saying he needs more than he would just get from the rich guys. I doubt that he wants to go over the cliff. And i must say, president obama has repeatedly referred to himself as the unique politician, hes different than everyone. There is no politician i know would want to get into a situation like this.

You wrote a piece in the wall street journal, called no guardrails, you said the old society kept the politicians in order in washington, selforder and selfrestraint. All of those disappeared as a result of the me generation and you say that obama is the epitome of a the me generation

Well, i guess that what i would say is that because it was a firsttime offense and i believe that it was a mistake. I guess that i would be inclined to reduce the penalty to ten days, perhaps. As my fellow commissioner had suggested. I do wish that and maybe this is the case that i dont know.
