He explained based. on .personal experi~nce, when people <br />are innocently injured, perhaps by illegal sales to minors or to a person that is intoxicated, the <br />injuries are quite often devastating and catastrophic. He feels that the requirement for $50,000 <br />requires these dram shops to have inadequate insurance. He questioned why the City does not <br />have a policy to require higher insurance to compensate innocent people that are injured. <br /> <br />City Cou~u:U I AugtistJ4,~007 <br />Page 4.of32 . <br /> <br /> <br />
