MANSFIELD — Mansfield and other Richland County municipalities could be eligible for more liquor permits if some Ohio lawmakers get their way.

Senate Bill 252 and House Bill 445, recently introduced in the General Assembly, would allow cities with a population of less than 100,000 in counties with a population of more than 125,000 to establish local entertainment districts. In these districts, up to 10 more liquor permits could be available, depending on population.

The proposal, sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Capri Cafaro, D-Hubbard, and Rep.Tom Leston, D-Warren, would plug a gap in existing law.
