This is going to cause problems for local business. People will just go drink earlier and the problems won't go away. Atleast keep the out at night where kids don't have to deal with it.

I don't think a 2am close would have any different changes to anything compare to the present 4am closing. I've lived in areas with both and it's all the same. So let's keep things as they are and concentrate on more important things.

If you don't think people will still be drunk only 2 hours earlier, you are a moron

Changing the time won't make bad things go away.

Let the local business owners continue to thrive on the business they receive between 2 and 4 pm. That's how they, and the local bartenders make a living. Don't take that away from them.

This is ruin our city!!! They put so much into this city and this will create money lost and will do nothing but push people away. Look what happened to Rochester, no one goes there at all anymore. The only people who are forcing this are people who are not in the industry. They wanna stop drunk driving? This will do nothing but pile drunk drivers all together at once. Bar owners can close anytime they want if it's a slow night, but the busiest hours are usually between 1am and 4am. Not to mention the money bartenders will lose being short 2 hours. I see nothing positive coming out of this

Allow for privately owned businesses to set their own hours to be open.

I don't think changing the closing time of bars in Erie County would do anything.

This would take 20% of my income out of my pocket, at a minimum.

It will put a serious strain on the city's artistic music scene. No shifting everything g 2 hours earlier won't remedy it. It will hurt many artists in this county that is very concentrated on the art of live music
