Comments on: Ft. Worth May Call For Expanded U.S Investigation Into Rainbow Lounge Raid http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/07/16/13262 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:08:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Richard W.

In essence Alan Steen, administrator of TABC, acknowledges that his agency [quote]: committed multiple “clear violations” of agency policy. http://www.dallasvoice.com/artman/publish/article_11584.php The national and global outrage generated by this event precludes the possibility of it being swept away as "just another bar inspection". As a consequence of Steen's press release, anywhere from 2-6 suspensions or dismissals can be anticipated.
