darling Robin Schimminger ,
Why do you detest fun ? First , you voted ‘ no ’ on a greenback that would allow brunch restaurants to serve alcohol at 10 ante meridiem Then you vote ‘ no ’ on a broadsheet that would permit movie theatre to do alcohol-dependent potable without having arestaurant on the premises .
I enjoy drinking almost as much as I enjoy it when mass enjoy themselves . Arbitrary laws that limit the economic consumption of alcohol make the world less enjoyable . You know what else makes the earthly concern less gratifying ? Poison ivy . Now ask yourself . Do you really want to be like poison common ivy ?

Adding two hours of potential drinking to a lazy Sunday morning is harmless . Some of us are early riser main — we have things to do , like go to bibulous brunches . throttle those brunches hurts commercial enterprise financially and will do nothing to curb drunkenness .
Similarly , forcing movie theaters to put restaurants on the premises if they want to dish out liquor is arbitrary and punitory . The cost of licensing and work up a full kitchen is a immense burden on business owner . Besides , there ’s already popcorn . WHAT ABOUT THE POPCORN , ASSEMBLYMAN SCHIMMINGER ? THINK OF THE POPCORN !
I put it to you , Assemblyman Schimminger , that you are a buzzkill . Indeed I do , sir ! By enforce your personal ( and , I would argue , lame ) values onto the drinking public of New York , you make it harder for us to pursue felicity — a right , I should point out , which is shrine in no less a document than the Declaration of Independence . Why do you hate the Declaration of Independence so much , Assemblyman ?
As you bed , the bill to cover brunch - booze pass ( no thanks to you ) , but the movie theater bill was defeated . And this weekend , when I take in the chef-d’oeuvre of political intrigue that isThe Purge : Election Year , I will do so without a cocktail in my hand . And you , sir , are to find fault . Something tells me I will enjoy this cinematic duty tour de force far less thanks to my sombreness .
So I ’d wish to respectfully ask you to end your strong drink vendetta post - haste . Your unheeding votes and frivolous pecker are killing this great province of ours — or at least our ability to drink while we look on bad pic , which is essentially the same affair .
Your views are regressive , anti - business and anti - freedom . I suggest you vary them , or risk me running for your seat in the state assembly . Do not try me , Assemblyman .
With Love , Dillon M Mafit
