Tribune Bashes Barb Wheeler Bill to Allow Underage Drinking in Presence of Parents

Barb Wheeler

“Last call for common sense: No drinking before 21 at restaurants” is the headline on today’s Chicago Tribune editorial.

“One of the bill’s co-sponsors, Rep. Barbara Wheeler, a Republican from Crystal Lake, says the aim is to leave the decision about whether to serve beer and wine to 18-to-20-year-olds up to parents and restaurant owners,” the editorial says.

Continuing the critique the editorial writer concludes, “We suspect, however, this bill is less about allowing 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds to have a Bud with Ma and Pa, and more about allowing restaurants to sell alcohol to a wider market.”

  1. The Tribune obviously has no common sense; they supported ‘Lying Jack Franks’.

  2. Old enough to go to war. To kill and sacrifice your own life and limb,

    But, don’t touch that beer!

  3. Will those teenie weenie bikini fund raisers come back to haunt her?

  4. One day Barb Wheeler is pushing for a pardon for Blagojevich, the next she’s pushing for legalized teenage drinking.

    Does this woman even remember she’s a Republican anymore..?

  5. When will Barb Wheeler-Dealer do something substantive?

    Been waitin’ for years!

  6. Wiz good one, and she only works a few hours a day, not to mention her satelite office to reach her is in Fox Lake,IL????
