McGuire's 1, Bureaucrats 0!
The state bureaucrats backed off Sunday and said it's OK for McGuire's Pub in Destin to put up its creative bathroom signs again.
In a press conference, Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation secretary Holly Benson said a compromise had been reached allowing the signs to go back up.
More to the point, the regulators realized they looked like petty tax-wasting bureaucrats, which in this case is what they are. It turns out that the complaint that started this fiasco in the first place is apparently bogus. The person whose name is on the ccomplaint never actually filed it, and doesn't know who did. I wonder how much tax money was spent hassling McGuire's for nothing.
Oh well, the bathroom signs are back, and that's what matters most. I'm going to tip a cold one tonight in McGuire's honor!

One small victory for freedom here in west fla, and this did not happen in Iraq. WOW. Patriot
thank God this is over with. now let's get back to the "real" news!
Yea!!! Another NW Florida business has won a battle with the State Department of Business Regulation. Now McQuire's can buy even more advertisements in the NW Florida Daily News. Of course, its working stiffs will still make their living through tips plus minimum wages. Perhaps the paper needs to focus upon attracting higher paying jobs, but I doubt that they would place ads to often.
The daily news certainly did not remain an impartial reporter of the news in this issue, but as you said, advertizing is what it is all about, and makes the paper millions.
A note to McGuires, if anyone walks in on me or any member of my family becuae of your "victory" signs, the FL State Department will not decide your fate that time, but a jury in civil court will.
If I were on the jury I would decide against you and would hope McGuire’s would file a countersuit demanding you pay their legal fees so I could order you to pay them. Why do some people want to run to the courts every time they claim to be inconvenienced or offended? You sound just like the kook who filed a 65 million dollar lawsuit against a dry cleaner for returning his pants three days late.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE SIGNS DON’T GO THERE. JUST QUIT YOUR INCESSANT WHINING OVER A NON-ISSUE.
The title makes it look like you’re calling the bureaucrats big fat zeros. And I would have to say this is kind of insulting to the number 0.
