BISMARCK -Rejecting appeals to help Fargos bars compete with Moorheads, the Senate Wednesday narrowly killed the bill that would have allowed North Dakota bars to stay open until 2 a.m.
"Grandma was right. Nothing good ever happens after midnight," said Sen. Ralph Kilzer, R-Bismarck, a retired physician. Other opponents scoffed at bill supporters contentions that it would allow people to drink later, not necessarily more.
