One hour more, or one hour too many?

Governor Paul LePage has proposed a pilot program that would add an another hour to Mainers nightlife. LD 1436 would run this summer through Columbus Day and delay last call until 2AM. Right now, alcohol sales are suspended after 1AM.

Concerns from opposition include extra law enforcement costs, and the overriding of local booze ordinances.

The Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee will hold a public hearing on the pilot program next week.
