[Neighbors] AC-17-9, Project #: 1011109

[Charlie Bennett via Neighbors_nobhill-nm]

Greetings neighbors,

CONGRATULATIONS on last Monday’s win in City Council!  Your resolve and
dedication have found your efforts in this neighborhood collaboration to
block additional package liquor sales in your neighborhood from this
Goliath of retailers to be successful thus far.  Let’s hope that late
Monday night was the end of it.  I suspect that it’s not.  If Josh
Skarsgard is able to squeeze more billable hours out of Southwest
Convenience Stores/Alon/7-Eleven, he will.   The liquor industry in NM
wants the 2011 precedence from the CVS Pharmacy case beaten and City Legal
may have to defend it.  If an appeal is filed in District Court, I hope
that you will hear of it from the City Legal Department in rapid
fashion.  HBNA,
along with nearby N’hood Associations, should consider filing an amicus
brief if this is appealed.

For now, you all should wish to give yourselves a deserved pat on the back
for all the work you’ve done.  Celebrate with a party before the holidays
eat up all of your time,  I’d suggest at Vibrance which you might remember
is the restaurant that requested a beer and wine license in the HBNA n’hood.

Nancy and I are so very proud and grateful for all your efforts.

Yours in Community
Charlie Bennett and Nancy Bearce
La Mesa Community Improvement Assoc.


BCC'd to all who matter.
