2-17-17 oshkosh pub crawl lawsuit

todayFebruary 17, 2017

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A state appeals court has ruled in the city of Oshkosh’s favor in an on-going battle with the organizer of a pub crawl.    Joseph Kubiak declined to pay for an event permit for a pub crawl in 2014 after several years of doing so. The city sued, saying Kubiak didn’t comply with the ordinance requiring a permit.  A circuit judge dismissed the suit, ruling that the meaning of “organizer” was unconstitutionally vague. However, an appeals court reversed the decision and ruled in the city’s favor Wednesday.  The appeals court said that even though the term “organizer” isn’t perfectly clear, it doesn’t make room for guesswork in its enforcement.  The appeals court sent the case back to Winnebago County Judge Thomas Gritton. No hearings have been scheduled.
