  • "Too many people drink too much and then hurt people. We have a right to control that. It's been proven that if access is reduced, it reduces the amount of drinking. It doesn't say it eliminates it, but reduces it." — The Daily Iowan, University of Iowa, Iowa City, April 2, 2001
  • "That's (the drink specials ordinance) not the only way to address the problem. There's no one solution. All those things are needed to help solve the problem." — The Daily Iowan, University of Iowa, Iowa City, April 2, 2001
  • "That (opening a new liquor store in a former drug store) just isn't going to help our efforts to reduce excessive drinking. This will do more harm to members of the community. We have no problem with Hy-Vee (Food Stores) making profits and creating jobs. We would just rather the profit didn't come at the expense of community quality of life and community safety." — The Press Citizen, Iowa City, Iowa, August 10, 2001.
