Why is this important?
I was denied a liquor license after 131 New Orleans French Quarter Business (FQBA) members submitted a letter to Troy Hebert instructing him to deny my license. Within three days of his receipt of the FQBA letter my application was denied. I received over 20 unannounced inspections to ensure I was not in violation of state ordinances particularly selling liquor to minors. Each official inspection indicted that there were no violations.
Generally, businesses serving liquor can expect 2 - 3 unannounced inspections over a 2 or 3 year period.
The denial and violation of my right to pursue a business and economic development is a direct violation of U.S. law 18 USC code 249.
September will mark the 2nd year of my application process and denial.
Last week the ATC filed an Opposition with Judge Brown to "stay" our administrative hearing which was scheduled in March 2015. This delay will create further financial and economic hardship.
Email Judge Paula Brown and request that she deny the ATC its' last minute request to "stay" the administrative hearing.
