In this interview, they claim they might just pull the plug: http://tinyurl.com/nn3aow

I owned a restaurant at one time (actually applied around the time of Joe’s first example) and was nearly denied a license because a first year law student decided he wanted some hearing time in front of a board. Fortunately I collected enough local signatures to convince the board, and the guy decided not to show up.
In this case Mr. Pantalone looks like he’s just against restaurant growth in the downtown core of the city. It’s an industry which I left long ago, but I still love. It brings vitality to the city. When I lived in New York, I loved that I had about 10 good places all within a couple blocks of where I lived. I love that on Ossington new restaurants were opening up every week.
We need to get rid of this kind of interference by those who are not entrepreneurs, and don’t understand business.
Hopefully the fellows who own Ici will fare better. Let’s all offer our support!

These people need lives, not to be busy bodies playing with peoples lives, btw the hearing was comedic, it was so clear how invalid all the concerns were and my lawyer totaly destroyed everything brought forth, yet somehow the lic was still denied, too many strings being pulled.
