For a small fee, bars and restaurants in the Mohawk Valley and across New York will be allowed to serve alcohol earlier than normal for this Sunday's Buffalo Bills game.

Greeley Ford is well respected in the Utica-Rome area for his work with AT&T, as a Commissioner for the NYS Liquor Authority, and a legendary bass player for several bands, including the now retired Classified. Recently retired, Ford has now been hired as a Beverage Consultant with Florida's Gray Robinson Law Firm.

Greeley Ford of Camden, who has served as one of three Commissioners at the New York State Liquor Authority, publicly announced his retirement on Wednesday.

Ten central New York bars and restaurants have been cited by the New York State Liquor Authority for failing to comply with Governor Andrew Cuomo's coronavirus regulations.

Six more bars/restaurants in New York are without a liquor license after violating COVID-19 rules, one in central New York that just received their license less than two months ago.

Governor Cuomo's coronavirus rules are taking a lot of the fun out of going to a restaurant or bar - with no cornhole, no comedy, and no dancing, and that's just the start.

Governor Andrew Cuomo's new task force to enforce COVID-19 restrictions in bars and restaurants pulled 10 liquor licenses this week around the state. Violations were handed out at some 84 establishments which carry fines of up to $10,000 per violation, according to the Governor's office.
