Few supporters for Neb. drinking liability law
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Few Nebraska lawmakers participating in an Associated Press survey say they support legislation making liquor-license holders liable for serving intoxicated customers who leave their establishments and hurt themselves or others.
But one lawmaker has plans to introduce a proposal for a so-called dram shop law.
Sen. Tom Carlson of Holdrege says Nebraska is behind the times and he believes such legislation is needed.
In a pre-session survey of state senators, 13 of the 49 said they don't support imposing such liabilities. Fifteen others were unsure. Five, counting Carlson, said they support it. Sixteen others didn't participate.

Bars want to make a profit, guess they just don't have the lobbying power and money to buy our congress.
