Decatur pubs, which need the early AM business, are very concerned about the proposal to close DeKalb bars at 1:30AM.
In all likelihood, incorporated towns will be allowed to make their own rules, independent of the county (as is the case with smoking), but they're not taking any chances.

Decatur pubs should focus their efforts on the Decatur commissioners instead, as they will set closing hours in Decatur (if the same jurisdictional rules used for smoking are applied). Typically, the county sets rules for unincorporated areas, and allows the incorporated areas to set their own rules.
