McArdle On The Shaw's Tavern Shutter

Megan McArdle, a senior editor who covers business and economics for The Atlantic, jumped into the local Shaw's Tavern fray today. It turns out she lives in Shaw and is none too pleased about the tavern's shutter. She blames the alcohol regulators: "It's hard for me to believe that ABRA needs to kill viable establishments in an area that badly needs them, in order to save us from the scourge of ... unlicensed cocktail parties. It seems widely out of proportion to the potential harm." [The Atlantic]
