ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association called new limits on bars and restaurants unfair. The association’s executive director, Tony Chesak, issued a statement: “Unfairly singling out every bar and every restaurant in Minnesota is not a scalpel – it’s a hatchet targeting one of Minnesota’s hardest hit industries this year. Chesak said the new blanket rules will cause more businesses to close, leaving more people unemployed and unable to support their families.
