Cincinnati’s Late-Night Bar Regulations Encounter Strong Resistance

The proposal aims to address violence and misconduct outside these establishments but raises fears that it may disproportionately affect minority-owned businesses. The plan is currently on hold, and more details will be discussed tonight on Local 12 News at 6 by James Pilcher.
