Hello 

As a City of La Crosse resident and current beverage license holder, I fully support Councilwoman 
Kuhlow's recommended reduction in licensing fees. 

As you know, many of our great local bars and taverns have been closed for almost 60 days unable to 
generate income. Many of their employees have also gone without income due to the closures. 

As we begin our return to a 'new' normal it will be important that our bars, taverns, owners and 
beverage servers can afford the fees associated with the alcohol industry. 

Please consider the lowering of fees, even if only for the next two years. Thank you for all you do for our 
great city.
