Thomas Paine sure took the gloves off in regards to Keith Meyer. In a way I was glad to see someone taking Meyer to task with Keith's name calling, bullying, verbal insults to people on the blogs that do not see it Meyer's way. At least Mr. Paine has some b@lls!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-89638599570650685482007-11-29T15:19:00.000-06:002007-11-29T15:19:00.000-06:00Oh yeah-I sent it to QCI as well.

The "new" owners are claiming that they didn't know about the felony status of their partner, but both the judge and the administrator make it clear they didn't buy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-53928559839573118882007-11-29T15:16:00.000-06:002007-11-29T15:16:00.000-06:00I was emailed the ruling-I've been bugging the ABD...I was emailed the ruling-I've been bugging the ABD for a couple of years now. I received it at 12:17 yesterday afternoon. Knowing Tory's interest in the subject I sent it on to him. It looked like PD Chief Schaeffer and Tom Warner were copied as well-it doesn't surprise me the Craig Malin hadn't seen it yet when Tory called. My friend who lives two doors west of the Mart said they were closed a 8 p.m. last night (they are usually open far later than midnight most nights). A much quieter night for him and his neighbors. Now the issue going forward is getting the Iowa Legislature to provide greater local control over issuance and enforcement of standards for Class E licenses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-28674499877802071212007-11-29T14:19:00.000-06:002007-11-29T14:19:00.000-06:00All I know is he sounded genuinely surprised when ...All I know is he sounded genuinely surprised when I told him about the ruling.<BR/><BR/>Also, the licensee's attorney said he didn't receive his copy until mid-afternoon either, so that jibes.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, it was highly unlikely that even had Warner et al been there that they would have sent the cops to close the place down immediately.<BR/><BR/>Bureacracy takes time, you know. <BR/><BR/>: )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-60976564549507735832007-11-29T12:28:00.000-06:002007-11-29T12:28:00.000-06:00And you believe what Malin said as the truth?
