| Description | Maryland Sen. John Giannetti's promotion of a national game-day tradition that violates state law has one member of the College Park City Council fuming.
Last week, Giannetti, D-Anne Arundel and Prince George's, sent a letter to the Diamondback inviting students to a tailgate sponsored by Cornerstone Grill and Loft, Number 1 Liquors and other businesses before the university football game against Florida State University, advertising free food and alcohol. He also wrote he would work to provide more recycling containers on the campus for "beer cans, pizza boxes and bottles." District 1 Councilman John Krouse criticized the promotion, saying Giannetti should not "be pushing alcohol consumption and parties in parking lots."
Maryland law forbids the consumption of alcohol in public places unless authorized by a government entity, though Krouse said University Police seem to "make a lot of allowances, and don't enforce the laws aggressively on game days."
He said inaction could be detrimental. |
