Chuck Burger Speaks

Alcoholic Beverage Control Board Chairman Charles Burger clarified today that he has not yet made a decision on exactly when he will leave his post on the city’s alcohol board, but he expects to step down from the board sometime in March or April.

Last week, due to information from the D.C. Office of Boards and Commissions, I reported that Burger would leave the ABC Board March 15. In an interview today, Burger said he still had “some loose ends to tie up” before he leaves and had not settled on a specific departure date.

Burger also said that he was “honored” by his years on the board, and had decided to leave “due to certain business opportunities and time demands.”
