(Fox News) - Two senators are calling on the D.C. City Council to reverse its decision allowing bars and night clubs to continue serving alcohol up until 5 a.m. during inauguration week.

The Washington Times reports California Democrat Dianne Feinstein and Utah Republican Robert Bennett sent a letter Tuesday to Council Chairman Vincent Gray and Mayor Adrian Fenty asking the council to change its decision because of security concerns. But one councilman says the senators should mind their own business.

"This is a local issue and is not a matter for the United States Senate," said Jim Graham (D) Ward 1 Council Member.

The council maintains that the longer hours will encourage celebrations that are safely indoors.
