I have to agree with most here that the town council was very wrong to immediately deny a request for the license. While it sounds like FAB's previous history of running a business was lackluster, she now has a partner to help. Since that is in fact civil in nature, it sounds like Bob is right, and the town broke the law. I don't think the town should turn anyone down at this point, as taxes continue to skyrocket while the town has little to offer and will get worse after drastic budget reductions for the next fiscal year. Another empty business (Cheese Plate) will now stay empty for how long? Personal vendetta's should not be reflected in Council meetings or determinations. I doubt the town can win this one in court!

From: Attorney: Warren Town Council's actions an embarrassment
