SHAKEN, NOW STIRRING That margarita delivered to your doorstep with dinner is destined to go away when the pandemic state of emergency ends unless a group of restaurant and business advocates gets their way.
Restaurateurs and business groups are planning a virtual rally today to push for a two-year extension of legislation authorizing cocktails to-go and capping third-party delivery-app fees at 15%. The original bill was opposed by package stores last year.
They also want a grant program for businesses that opened in 2020 and have struggled to access state and federal aid, and to compel insurance companies to pay business interruption claims. State Sen. Diana DiZoglio, who s co-hosting today s event, has filed all four as Senate budget amendments.
