MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- If you're a fan of those beer gardens in Milwaukee County Parks in the summertime, you'll be interested in a new bill that's backed by two hometown lawmakers.
The bill would allow cities and counties to sell wine and liquor without a liquor license in its public parks.
Right now, state law only allows the unlicensed sale of beer.
State Rep. Ryan Clancy and State Sen. Chris Larson argue that at a time when communities are asked to come up with creative ways to raise money, expanding legal alcohol sales "only makes sense."
Larson and Clancy are looking for co-sponsors for their bill.
