I have closed more liquor establishments than any council member in the history of that council.

If you want to own a bar or tavern, you have to abide by local and state laws.

The ball lies in the administration's court.

This is a long, long time coming. I want to get in it as soon as possible.

I'm not going to sit here as a member of this council and let you disrespect me!

I don't think there is one member of this council -- not one -- who would be influenced by a meal. I truly believe the character, the integrity, of this council is above that.
