@wesh2orlando: Some downtown Orlando business owners are calling on the city to suspend a program that requires certain establishments to help pay public safety costs if they serve alcohol after midnight. Eric Fuller, owner of Celine in downtown Orlando, said his business has paid nearly $500,000 through the city’s After Midnight Alcohol Sales program since it began in 2023. “We’re getting close to the half-million-dollar figure,” Fuller said. WESH 2's Adriana Doria has the full story at the link above.
Orlando is slowly killing the night scene in downtown

It's a ploy to push those businesses out and replace them with businesses that are more accessible and appealing to the general public. Moral of the story is they want to eliminate the downtown nightlife scene PERMANENTLY.

I have said this for years!!! That policy is basically writing a blank check to the police….the police do nothing, greedy AF, and no repercussion when the work isn’t done. The police in this city is corrupt.

The fact that not all of the businesses contribute is ridiculous. The fact that police are already paid for with taxes and somehow they need some extra bump is ridiculous. How about they do their job? And these bigger venues also provide their own personal security and pay for that too, so with respect to this Orlando is a piece of garbage and it's ruining the nightlife. And it's the stupid NIMBY crowd that pushes this crap anyway.
