Sure, political parties and candidates host gatherings or fundraisers, often in restaurants or taverns where drinks are served or provided.

But has any of that, uh, self-serving gone on in a political party’s own main center within the five-county Northeast Ohio boundaries? You know, where maybe a state liquor license if required?

Just asking. Maybeit's not closing time yet as the Ohio Department of Liquor Control might say.
