Booze License For Children's Museum?

What's wrong with this picture?
The Madison Children's Museum will continue to operate without a full liquor license after the state raised concerns about the museum's license application.
The application, which was submitted by the Roman Candle Pizzeria located on the museum's ground floor, was placed on file at Tuesday's City Council meeting.
Mark Woulf, the city's alcohol policy coordinator, said the museum decided not to pursue the license due to concerns raised by the state after the city's Alcohol License Review Committee unanimously recommended the license last month.
During past after-hours events, the museum, located at 100 N. Hamilton St., served alcohol using the license of other caterers.
It hosted about 35 catered events last year and is expected to have 35 to 40 events in 2013, according to the museum's executive director Ruth Shelly.
Under the license proposal alcohol would only have been provided outside of normal museum business hours and would never be sold to museum patrons out of the Roman Candle Sparkler Café.
"The state Department of Revenue contacted the city with the basic concern that you can't turn off and on a license once it's been issued," Woulf said, adding that children are not allowed to be unsupervised in an alcohol-licensed establishment.
Yeah, I realize it's Madison, WI., where binge drinking is a requirement to live in Madison, but to have a liquor license for a Children's Museum?  That's totally insane.  I guess image means nothing to the liberal City of Madison.
Hell, why don't they have porn night at the Museum?  That would raise a lot of money.  And if that doesn't make enough money, hold a pot smoking convention there or a NAMBLA (National Man-Boy Love Association) meeting there.  Maybe they can pick up a scent of a young boy there.  This guy would certainly attend:
