Cincinnati Targets Bars with New Crime Fines | Cincinnati News

Cincinnati’s City Council is pushing a bold new plan: fine bars, clubs, and restaurants for repeated crime — not to punish, but to force owners into action. After deadly shootings outside a club in November, officials want to tackle violence and drugs before they spiral. Businesses with three incidents or a serious drug offense in 30 days could get a warning; a second incident within 13 days triggers a “chronic nuisance” label and $1,250 fines. The goal? Partner with owners to fix problems — not just slap tickets. Vote expected August 5th. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
