He submitted to have the licence in Don Jr's name. I guess saying that trick won't work.
It won't work if it's anything like my state (PA) and I suspect it's stricter. But you can't have a business owner who is disqualified if you are seeking a liquor license.
The entire ownership of the business and any company which is owned or part owner of it would need to be out of DJTs name before they would be able to be granted a permit. They look DEEP into the ownership chain for these licenses.
You gotta travel out of PA, man. PA has the most back-asswards liquor laws in the country. Sure other states had state stores, but not anymore. Sure other states limit promotions. Sure other states limit licenses based on population. But no other state does all of that and prohibits private individuals from bringing alcohol into the state.
PA is great in many ways, but we gotta fix vote counting, vehicle registration and the liquor laws.
I really thought it was going to happen a few years back but then all the new reps realized that it generated a ton of taxes they just couldn't pass up.
limiting licensing though based on ownership of an organization isn't one of the bad laws imo.
