Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : "We're risking our lives but still feel disregarded [despite] the substantive number of jobs and amount of tax revenue we create."
47% : "With the ending of our state of emergency and the return to pre-pandemic guidelines, the temporary pandemic-related privileges for to-go and delivery of alcoholic beverages will end after June 24," the State Liquor Authority said in a tweet following Cuomo's announcement.
38% : The state, in response, put in stringent restrictions that held bars and restaurants responsible for cracking down on bad behavior, which some owners said went beyond reasonable expectations for enforcement.
