Councilwoman Adams spend much of Saturday night crusing with the Carbondale PD around downtown Carbondale the night of Polar Bear and has posted a report to her blog. The DE has photo coverage here. It appears a surprisingly quiet night for the police department, at least based on news posted on their website and from Adams comments. Strangely, I found no coverage in the Southern Illinoisan about the event, save for descriptions of city preparations for the event.
On the agenda at City Council tonight is a proposal to reduce the number of available class B liquor licenses from 16 to 15, which are all currently held by operating bars and restaurants. If the license cap is reduced, anyone wishing to open a bar in town would not only have to get a liquor license but would first have to petition the city council to raise the liquor license cap in order to make another license available, putting another hurdle in the way of someone wishing to start a business in C'dale. There is also the question of whether we want to encourage the opening of more bars within the community.
