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.
YAY! 😀
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!
Vote for John Doe NOW.
Get a free drink at the bar ???
