Last week the CEO of the State Liquor Authority, known for abiding by the interests of community boards, quietly and somewhat suddenly resigned. Now the question is, where will the next CEO's sympathies lie?: "The news of the sudden resignation stunned community groups. 'This is very troubling, very worrying,' said Susan Finley, co-founder of the Flatiron Alliance. 'He was behind the movement to clean up the SLA...' The SLA revoked 239 liquor licenses in 2007 and 203 in 2006. In 2003, only 88 licenses were pulled." [NYP via DBTH]
