Preliminary discussions of changing Grundy County liquor license hours brought two unincorporated bar owners before the Grundy County Rules Committee Friday.

During the public comments portion of the meeting, Don Hansen, owner of Honest Abe's in Morris, as well as the owners of Gippers II in Coal City, spoke against the changing of the county's hours for bars.

The bar owners had heard that the committee had discussed changing the hours of bars located in unincorporated areas of the county to match the city of Morris' hours. Currently, on the weekends the bars in unincorporated areas close at 2 a.m. Those in Morris close at 1 a.m.
