Licensing Dispute Threatens Happy Hours
The Massachusetts Senate advanced a bill that would give local municipalities control over liquor licenses, removing state-imposed quotas and allowing communities to determine their needs through public hearings.

The bill also includes a provision to legalize happy hour discounts, a move that has met resistance from the restaurant lobby.
