News Poll Results: 50/50 On More Control For Cities

Werner Fajardo, owner of the Bar and Club El Cuervo in Huron

Its was an even split in the latest Performance Radio News Poll on Facebook. We asked you if cities should be given more authority to deal with alcohol serving establishments that are in trouble with the law. 50-percent of respondents said the current process of a 30-day waiting period following a recommendation from a municipality is fair and appropriate. Janet Coleman voted in favor of the current system saying quoteInnocent til proven guilty! These allegations sound horrible and frankly I wouldn’t allow my kids around there. And I’m sure we don’t know all the facts, he hasnt pled guilty yet and the courts hasn’t found him guilty. I think we should wait to pull his liquor license until he is found guilty. If it was your business and a “rumor” was being said about your business, would you want your business destroyed over a rumor? Let the judicial system run its course. The other 50-percent felt cities should have greater control for preventing establishments, such as the Bar and Club El Cuervo, which as been at the center of recent criminal investigations regarding minors and alcohol use, from conducting business. El Cuervo owner Werner Fajardo was indicted on 15 charges Thursday including six counts of varying degrees of rape, involving victims who are minors.
