“During the summer of 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, Burning Bridge Tavern management worked with local officials in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, to host a series of outdoor gatherings for the community,” said Eric Boehm. I wrote this in the March 2024 issue of this magazine. You’ll never guess what happened next.
Of course, Burning Bridge was slapped with a ton of citations from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB), but the real blow came when it was time to renew its liquor license.
After all, over the past two years, the PLCB has urged dozens of Pennsylvania establishments that have attracted pandemic-related busts to sign “conditional license agreements” to renew their liquor licenses. It turned out. In some cases, these agreements may force the sale of licenses, but in most cases, like Burning Bridge, additional terms are added to licenses that may prevent future renewals from being approved. .
These renewal terms can have knock-on effects, including making insurance premiums catastrophically expensive. All for the crime of providing much-needed community in a time of social isolation and government overreach. You may be pleased to know that Mr. Boehm’s article was read into the record during a Pennsylvania State Senate hearing.

reason‘s Christian Brichugi likes to defend this little guy while filling the rest of us with white-hot rage. What about the Ohio pastor who was criminally charged (again!) for sheltering homeless people in his church? Or a California couple who owned a 22-foot-tall mobile home that had to be demolished by the California Coastal Commission because it was deemed too high to overlook a nearby beach? A winery in crowded Santa Clara County was fined $120,000 for allowing vineyard managers and their families to live in trailers on the property?

Billy Binion is one man who causes heart attacks. A family was unable to claim compensation after being flashbanged by the FBI for trespassing. The man served two years in prison on false charges allegedly trumped up by corrupt prosecutors who ordered the destruction of incriminating evidence, but was still given immunity from the case. The small nonprofit organization owed $2,543 in delinquent property taxes, so its property was foreclosed on by the city and sold to a private investor. The woman owed $3,863 in property taxes, but the county later foreclosed on her home and sold it for a profit of $102,636. The list goes on.
