W. Va. Looks At Early Bar Closings
WEST VIRGINIA....
West Virginia state representatives are considering a bill that could force bars to close early, although they say they're not optimistic the bill will pass during this year's legislature. Bar owners say they're not to pleased by the proposed bill, but some feel it would stop a lot of people who have drunk a lot from driving over to West Virginia to continue drinking, some ending up in fights and wrecks.....and West Virginia taxpayers ending up having to pay for it. State officials backing the bill say they would consider amending the bill to only include counties that border neighboring states.
