Beach business owners reacted to the curfew and business restrictions imposed by the city's government in response to recent violence, telling FOX Business that it is causing them to lose tens of thousands of dollars.Beach officials implemented a curfew and several restrictions on businesses that are intended to "mitigate dangerous and illegal conduct."
For Rick Silverberg, owner of Portofino Wine Bank, this means his wine store cannot sell or make deliveries to individuals past 6 p.m., which is translating to a loss of at least $10,000 per day. "I'm concerned that they're going to do it next weekend, and the following weekend, and the following weekend, until they decide that, OK, we're going to go back to our original hours," Silverberg said. "I'm concerned that there's no end in sight."
"The curfew, you know, effectively shut down a beach and sends all the tourists over to Miami," Wallack said. "Two idiots that really ruined it for tens of thousands of people that were having a good time in Miami Beach in March, which is supposed to be the best month of the year."
