Miami Beach Mayor Wants to End One of the US’s Wildest Parties
- Gelber says party crowd isn’t right kind of economic driver
- City officials oppose curbs, saying they hurt jobs, business
Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber wants to crush one of the US’s biggest parties.
Gelber is looking to make the Florida city as unappealing as possible for the spring break crowd, restricting alcohol sales and shutting down local businesses earlier, after declaring a state of emergency to halt violence for the second straight year. His proposals face stiff opposition from city officials and bar owners.
