The Saratoga Springs City Council will consider asking the county request from the state a new closing time for bars in an effort to stanch an apparent rise in public drunkenness and violent incidents that have sprung up as Saratoga Springs’ late-night (early-morning) bar scene has bounced back to life.
Mayor Meg Kelly on Monday added a proposed resolution to the city’s Tuesday night council meeting that would ask the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors to formally request the state Liquor Authority prohibit the sale of alcohol later than 2 a.m.
