Michigan Liquor Control Commission Eliminates Regulation that Made it Illegal for Bars to Display Campaign Signs

Posted on March 6, 2013 by adminMarch 6, 2013

Since 1954, the Michigan Liquor Control Commission has had a regulation making it illegal for a business with a liquor license to display a sign indicating support for a candidate or a political party. However, the ACLU sued in federal court last October, and the Commission has now eliminated that regulation. The case was Contreras v Deloney, eastern district, 2:2012-cv-14616. It was dismissed on December 28, 2012, after the Commission promised to end the regulation. Thanks to Thomas Jones for this news.

Does this ruling apply to the entire 6th District?

Not that it matters much, most bartenders and bar owners have little interest in potentially provoking a customer!

PEACE

I’ll bet this does nothing to increase signage for the Prohibition Party!
