What Steve has done now is gone in the back door. More than one way to skin a cat... This is what he does and exactly what was expected. He is a smart, smart guy and he will always find another way when he want's something. He has gone to Alan DeBoer and made a deal and sold himself to DeBoer. DeBoer loves him. Steve is a very charming guy. That's exactly how he gets away with so much. What Steve has done is brought in muscle, huge muscle. The OLCC can't say no to DeBoer as a high profile, wealthy car dealer, community contributor, employer, land baron, wine country advocate, political advocate, etc., etc., etc. If they said no to DeBoer, he would have them for lunch and not even choke, and they know it. The OLCC shouldn't even bother at this point with an application but rather just prepare Steve's license right away and drive it over as fast as they can and deliver it to Steve by hand along with a full written apology for any inconvenience. Also, now that DeBoer is in, all DeBoer's friends' will come running with their check books because they won't want to miss out on DeBoer's newly discovered excellent financial prospect because they all know that everything DeBoer touches turns to gold.... Steve knew exactly what he was doing. (DeBoer just doesn't know what Steve is really doing, "a fool and his money") With Steve, nothing is ever what it seems...
In case you are unfamiliar with Alan DeBoer, he is a board member of the Southern Oregon Historical Society, former Ashland mayor and owner of several car dealerships.
