The SLA Is Really Messed Up
Everyone knows the SLA is messed up, including the SLA, where applications for a new liquor license can take anywhere from six months to a year. The Times digs up some fun facts about one of New York State's most troubled agencies:
- 2,073 licenses were pending as of last week, with 873 of them for more than 3 months
- The Harlem office which handles New York City, LI and Westchester has 9 employees who review applications, 45% of the total employed by the SLA
- The Harlem office regulates 65% of the permits
Simple calculations show that the SLA represents the bureaucracy at its best. An SLA spokesman tells the NYT, “we are sympathetic to the fact that there are hardships, and there isn’t anyone who wants to see these applications processed more than we do.” One potential bright spot, Governor Patterson is supporting two bills that will allow applicants to serve booze while their application is pending, but we figure the Community Boards will go ape shit over this one. Meanwhile, they still haven't addressed the root cause of the problem, the backwards application process. Maybe next decade.
