Reform the NYS Liquor Authority

09/10/2024

Legislature needs to change how liquor stores get sited.

We give up. All hope is lost for reforming the NYS Liquor Authority. Gov. Hochul doesn't give a s**t about how many millions NYS businesses are losing because of understaffing and poor management of the agency.

The technology "upgrade" is a bad joke played on applicants, licensees and taxpayers. Someone should get fired over it

The New York State Liquor Authority has done any with serial numbers. Also gone --- ability for the public to look up the status of a pending license or permit. New faces. Same old incompetent agency.

New faces, same old agency. This group will never get rid of the backlog. They don’t know how. 10-12 month processing times here to stay.

Something’s gotta give.

Rep. Lee Zeldin, Republican candidate for governor of New York, outlined actions he wants to take immediately upon taking office if he defeats.Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Top lawyer at SLA leaving agency. Hopefully, next one will sit at meetings and not comment on applications, applicants and submissions of their attnys/reps. Why Chairman Bradley allows it is beyond us. General counsel should speak only when a legal question arises.

We don’t always agree with Commissioner Fan but overall she is fair, reads the submissions and is consistent.

Please join us in congratulating Commissioner Lily Fan who was reconfirmed by the NY State Senate. Commissioner Fan has been a member of the SLA Board since 2018.

Did you know that Commissioner Fan has been involved in numerous Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, and in 2019, won her first Tony Award as a Co-Producer of the musical Hadestown.
