KOIN also did a piece, but their angle was that we are oppressing the owner.

The OLCC hearing is scheduled for Friday, April 18th at 9am. The hearing will be located at 9079 SE McLoughlin Blvd., Room 103A, Portland, Oregon, 97222. You must show up at 9am and sign in with OLCC employee Carrie Korbe (she will be in the front lobby) if you wish to speak to the OLCC board. For those that will be speaking, the time allowed for this issue is during the “License Matters” portion of the agenda (not the “Public Forum”).

I strongly encourage everyone that has previously taken action on this issue to speak at this meeting. It is advisable to write down your comment so your message isn’t missed. After we have commented on the license, the OLCC board vote.
