Local Liquor Law Violations

In what has now been confirmed to be an operation of the NH Liquor Commission, 11 local businesses were cited for Liquor Law Violations this past weekend. The Conway Police Log lists the violations as all happening on this past Saturday, Jan. 11th. Conway Police Lt. Chris Mattei says the Liquor Commission carried out compliance checks on all businesses licensed to sell alcohol that were open. 11 local businesses sold alcohol to a minor. They included the state liquor Store, Table & Tonic, the Lobster Trap, Taste of Thai, North Conway Grand Hotel, the 1785 Inn, Black Cap Grille, Vito Marcello’s Italian Bistro, Café Noche, Stonehurst Manor, and Fire Pizza. Mattei says that all those responsible for selling to a minor were first time offenders and are being offered an option of training in lieu of a fine.

Bill Weld Interview

Former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld is running in the less talked about Republican primaries. The Presidential hopeful stopped by our offices shortly after visiting the Gibson Center in N. Conway. He says his top issues in the campaign are the national debt and climate change but that the real reason as to why he’s running is the toxic political environment in the country right now. Weld says, “The atmosphere has gotten so poisonous in Washington and everyone hates each other down there. It’s like a death spiral embrace between the two parties and they need each other to scare their own base into giving them lots of money so they can get re-elected and it’s kind of a sick situation.” Most polling listed under Real Clear Politics places Weld somewhere between 1 and 5% against President Trump.
