The Strip Sues LUBBOCK

KCBD lubbock Channel 11 is reporting that the Strip is still trying to defeat the alcohol ordiance by making shit up.

judge granted a temporary restraining order against the city just before five o'clock Monday.

Two of Lubbock County's largest alcohol vendors say a city ordinance dealing with the potential placement of packaged stores if fatally flawed.

Majestic Liquor Stores Incorporated, owner of Crossed-Keys, Doc's, Double-T, the Cellar and Pinkie's inc. filed the lawsuit against the city of Lubbock and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

The companies claim that the city zoned alcohol in such a way that it unfairly discriminates. A Lubbock judge granted their request for a restraining order that prevents the city from granting alcohol applications.

The plaintiffs are further seeking to have the ordinance declared void.

Newschannel 11 is looking into this lawsuit and has contacted the parties involved.

What is the purpose of the strip when its a duopoly, Majestic owns all of the big stores out at the strip except Austin's Corner, and that's it. Seeking to have the ordinance declared void, this dirty ass city would grant this proposal if they lost the vote that would declare it legal to sell alcohol within the city limits. OK it might be unfair, but not more than the strip charging 15% more than any other city. Whats the Fatal flaw that you would close, so sad.

The City of Lubbock utility Mocks utility customers by offering a useless rebate, according to the LAJ.

Joe Rangel stood before a packed house in the Maggie Trejo Supercenter, assuring the crowd packed into chairs and lining the walls that they could find help on surging water utility bills.

Most residents in the audience would pay double on their water bill before even turning on a faucet and still more for sewer costs as massive water supply projects change from lines on paper to pipes in the field.....

Only households making $22,000 a year or less need apply, Rangel explained. And of households under that income ceiling, only those with someone elderly, or disabled, or a primary caretaker with a child would be eligible, he added, to silent, answering nods.

Then he laid out the discount. Qualified families could receive $2 off their bill, Rangel said. Lubbock could offer the most desperate homes more than $5 a month off.

Councilman Todd Klein, one of the authors of the rate assistance Lubbock adopted, said he would continue to monitor enrollment.

"I'm obviously deeply disappointed," said Klein. "I spent a lot of hours trying to come up with something."

But he did not believe the program was necessarily failing.

The point of the discount was to help residents scraping for every dollar, he said.

Adams agreed.

"The goal was to try to identify the truly needy," Adams said. "If it's not a benefit, if it's not important, then they may not be truly needy."(LAJ)

5 dollars that has to be a joke, and I can not believe that Klien "Spent a lot of hours trying to come up with something." How about give back the raises the council gave themselves last year, thats is just to extreme to ever truely consider as an option. They are probably truly needy buy 5 dollars isnt worth their trouble to go to meetings to recieve their rebate, Transportation cost more than that.

congratulations Lubbock for this recognition and having the only place that sells alcohol located outside of the city limits. Looks like that plan is working.

Back to writing my paper for interpersonal.
