Before I move onto any report of protests, I would <br />like to note that there may be some amendments and updates to the investigator's <br />report based on information that we gather today during this hearing, and based on <br />information that has been gathered in the last week. But in regards to protests, this is <br />an application for an original Restaurant General liquor license, Category B1.
