on the number of permits allowed.
The Indiana Association of Beverage Retailers filed a complaint Thursday in Marion
Superior Court in Indianapolis asking for an injuction barring the state Alcohol and Tobacco Commission from issuing permits

that results in twice as many permits being considered than the law currently allows.
