HUDSON After nearly two months, the early close for bars and restaurants came to an end with a tie-breaking vote from Mayor Rich O’Connor.
The ordinance, and the emergency order that provided for it, took effect in December following a rise in crime in downtown Hudson as Minnesotans flocked across the border to the open establishments.
