The family of a boy killed by a drunk driver and an advocacy group are opposing a Utah liquor bill that will increase the number of bar licenses the state can issue.
“This particular amendment has a big public safety hit in it and it degrades our public safety, so I spoke against the bill because the increase in the number of bars is pretty dramatic," Brown said. “The number of bar licenses that would be allocated this year and the subsequent years will result in an increase in risks, accidents and death to public safety,” he said.

Jeff Burton told 2News. “This is a free country, we applaud that citizens can make choices, but we are responsible for the choices we make.”Bar and restaurant owners worried about new liquor bill before Utah LegislatureFamily of boy killed in hit-and-run shares memories during Festival of Trees unveiling
