Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday proposed a permanent curfew for alcohol purchases, just days after hundreds of protesters gathered outside her home to express their displeasure with her job performance.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the proposal is part of a “sweeping pandemic relief package” proposed by the mayor, and “would ban sales of packaged liquor products between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. every day except Sunday, when they’d start at 8 a.m.”
