The proposed restrictions on actions and attire of personnel in ABC licensed establishments goes extremely overboard.  The regulation defining the amount of breast and buttocks exposure allowable would require a licensed establishment to deny access to any woman wearing a bikini top or bottom, tank top, or many other types of summer beach apparel.  Any local or tourist treated in such a manner would not consider Virginia such an agreeable place to live or vacation.  If enacted, this proposal can do nothing but hurt local businesses and thus the local economy.  At a time when the  worldwide economy is experiencing severe difficulties, our state and local offices should be doing all they can to promote, not restrict, local business opportunities.  The Virginia State Legislature had the good judgement to reject a similar proposal.  I hope that the same can be said for the ABC.  As an active registered voter, I want officials in office that will promote the growth of local economy.

Please consider the adverse impact upon local businesses and tourism this proposal would no doubt create.  After carefully reviewing all of the issues involved, I am sure the ABC will see that rejecting this proposal is highly beneficial to everyone.
