The president of the state’s tavern league says bar owners are getting desperate to reopen.
Pete Madland says many bars can’t survive another couple of weeks of being shut down. He calls the situation bleak.
Madland says so far, there’s been a trickle of businesses closing, but that number will grow if the May 26th order stays in place.
He maintains that many bars could reopen right now with capacity limits, and additional safeguards put in place for both customers and workers.
