Good to hear from you LC. I don't pay too much attention to the guy who "made up a BS story" and now wants everyone to hang on his every word. He's more than welcome to Larp as a PI. 6 years ago he google image searched APRU's address and called it DD. When you went and visited (actual DD) he didn't take kindly to it. When I went and visited Lena he was unhappy about that too. Hard to trust a guy who gets mad anytime someone does some DD and doesn't come to the conclusion he reached 6 years ago based on a tweet. It is what it is.
The owners are responsible for the taxes.......and
the local government approves the transfer of ownership, regardless of what money may be in escrow, bro!
Instead of Tony sending out his boyz to sweep things under the rug yet again, he should get in touch with Madi and/or the Village of Lena, who has the power to shut Lena down. Also, these misleading PR's could give them the reason for NOT approving any potential transfer of ownership.
Funny that when they reached out to Lena, they said they weren't selling to APRU.
They're not worried about Tony, Ross, or the water carriers. None are mentioned in the statutes.
APRU and Lena Brewing will be working with Lena’s lenders for transfer of responsibility of outstanding loan covenants and guarantees to APRU and upon lender approval and transfer, APRU and Lena Brewing will file required paperwork with governmental agencies to transfer ownership of Lena Brewing to Apple Rush Company, Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary.
SECTION 3-9: CHANGE IN PERSONNEL OR OWNERSHIP In the event one or more members of a firm or partnership withdraw from such business, the business may be continued by the remaining person or persons, partner, or partners under the same liquor license for the remainder of the period for which the license was issued to the licensee or licensees. The change in ownership, however, shall be reported immediately to the Village and the change shall be shown immediately on the original license application then in effect filed. The failure by any licensee hereunder to comply with the provisions of any part of this section shall be considered and deemed cause for the revocation and cancellation of the liquor license issued under this chapter by the Liquor Commission. In the event the total of fifty percent (50%) or more of the stock of any corporation, or membership interest in an LLC, or interest in a Partnership, is transferred or sold to another person, corporation, LLC, partnership or other entity, such transfer or sale shall require a new license be obtained from the Liquor Commissioner and a new license fee be paid as provided in this chapter. A Certificate of Occupancy must be applied for and issued to the business owner before a new liquor license can be issued.
K. Upon approval of a liquor license by the Village Board of Trustees, a Certificate of Occupancy must be applied for and issued to the business owner before a liquor license can be issued
Let me know if you need anything else. I honestly don't think Ross simply took the money for the sale of Lena so that he could then violate the ordinances.
And he probably didn't appreciate getting a call from the powers that be about the PR claiming Lena was a subsidiary.
