Young proposes Jazz in the Park exemption
State Rep. Leon D. Young (D-Milwaukee) has proposed legislation that would create an exemption for Jazz in the Park in the law that prohibits patrons carrying in their own booze. Current state law prohibits carrying in beverages because The East Town Association holds a license to sell fermented beverages in Cathedral Square Park during the event.
