Mayor Morrissey has acted in the JT’s Bourbon Street case: He’s yanked their license. Should send powerful message to bar owners: Rockford won’t tolerate violence spilling out of nightspots.

Here’s the news release:

ROCKFORD - City of Rockford Mayor Lawrence J. Morrissey has issued an Order revoking the liquor license issued to JT’S Bourbon Street & Grille, effective immediately. Pursuant to Illinois law, the Mayor, as Local Liquor Commissioner, is provided five days following a hearing to issue a full opinion, and Mayor Morrissey will issue a full opinion within this time frame. City of Rockford staff will refrain from further comment on the case until such time as a full opinion is issued.
