I object to the proposed fast tracking of new amendments to the current ABC regulations. I have worked in establishments that serve alcohol for more than 15 years. Having read what is proposed it is my belief that this issue needs to be fully and completely debated in order to guarantee that what is best for everyone is considered and applied. It is also my belief that what is proposed goes beyond the boundaries of the Virginia ABC board. I know that everyone does not share the same opinion on what is or is not partially nude. As well, who determines what is or is not a legitimate theatrical or artistic production? Again not everyone will see it the same way. These types of things should not and cannot be left up to any individual’s personal interpretation. I believe such a regulation needs to be completely laid out in order to insure that any new regulation in implemented and enforced fairly. Maybe it should be left up to the individual city’s community standards laws. With this in mind I totally object to this action.
