Anita LeBrun Pushes Bill to Allow 2 Weekly Happy Hours in Minnesota Senior Homes

Summary
Anita LeBrun is backing a Minnesota bill so residents at her retirement home can drink alcohol during the facility’s twice-weekly happy hours.
Minnesota law now bars retirement homes from serving alcohol unless they obtain an additional license, leaving the gatherings dry despite resident demand.
LeBrun said the effort is about more than pinot grigio with friends — it is also a question of independence for older residents.
