Reaction to waiving fees for bars, taverns, and casinos in Mining City Commissioners rejected request from Tavern Association to waive fees By: Kaitlyn Aguiles and last updated 2021-02-16 18:19:44-05 BUTTE â The council of commissioners rejected the request by the Silver Bow Tavern Association to waive fees for bars, casinos, and restaurants, citing that the extension of hours was an olive branch. "[Members of the Silver Bow Tavern Association] feel a little bit taken back by the remarks that were provided by some of the commissioners," said Thomas Davis, the president of the Silver Bow Tavern Association. The council of commissioners made the decision to turn down the request because they felt it would have been unfair to other businesses.
