It’s totally un-PC (and racist) to mention the reason for neighborhoods to collapse into drugs and crime.

“The bill now instructs the city’s Department of Licenses and Inspections to “promulgate regulations to provide for the use or removal of any physical barrier” in places that serve food and alcohol by no later than Jan. 1, 2021.

The amended bill is expected to go up for a full Council vote Dec. 14.

“What we’re asking L&I to do is come up with some regulations,” Bass said after the hearing. The issue regarding the barrier window is still “on the table,” she said.”

It will be voted on 12/14 and it would not go into effect until 2021 if it passes.

This gives the establishments time to plan their moves to get around the policy.

Correction:. The people who vote for her want to rob the OTHER people who vote for her.

It should be required that in order to hold office, and to vote, you should be able to understand a simple checkbook ledger. I know of a school board member in a small southern town who could not be made to understand that there was only $1,000 in the account because the treasurer reported a balance of $8,000 with $7,000 in outstanding checks. She could not get past the $8,000 figure.

Of course, I’m sure that’s not taught in school today. We should go back to teaching the “three “R’s” and let them learn the rest once they get out into the world. Without the basics they won’t ever learn anything.

If they are operating fraudulently as restaurants then address what is a restaurant and possibly pull liquor licenses.

There’s a reason there’s not a single major retail store within miles of downtown Detroit.

As a rural guy, I can tell you the way to stop public urination is with an electric fence charger.

Removing safety glass is not going to do anything at all.

We are way, way too tolerant of idiots.
There when a Politician that was so openly advocating harm to a section of the population would be ahem....”corrected”.

Had an interesting live demonstration of this in Haiti of all places! Strolling through some of the more remote grounds of the Haiti Baptist Mission in Kenskoff (far above the cesspool of Port-au-Prince) a friend remarks that he needs to relieve himself. As I wander away I hear a sharp yelp, followed by a burst of laughter, as he knew what had hit him from the fencing. The Turnbull family, who were HBM, did not play games with anyone planning to mess with ministry property.

But the basics are racist! Learning is "acting white", don'cha know!

Mark my words here’s the real plan. Ban the glass, sales dropb valu ofstores fall the owners close stores. Then like magic friends of the politician s buy the old store for cheap, the ban is reversed. And the criminals in offoce get kickbacks
