Closing time might get a little later at your favorite drinking spot thanks to a state senator who has proposed legislation to allow cities to decide how late alcohol can be served. The Let Our Communities Adjust Late Night Act, which was proposed Tuesday, would allow municipalities to set their own last-call times. "Nightlife matters a lot, culturally and economically, and it's time to allow local communities more flexibility," he wrote. The last person to attempt to give cities flexibility in setting last call times was Wiener's predecessor in the Legislature, former Sen. Mark Leno, in 2013 . The bill failed to get enough votes to move out of committee.
