Must be our friends at the WDT don't want to be seen going into a liquor store to buy their wine....Their support of liquor store restrictions misses one key point. The sale of their own newspaper is currently banned in liquor stores because the stores cannot sell any product not related to the consumption of alcohol (corkscrews,shot glasses, etc).
I do know of an instance where the paper is sold in a liquor store. Should I report that to the state ?
Actually, the Times is correct in noting wine in stores does make it easier for consumers, but the liquor store owners who have lived under crazy rules for decades and have large sums of money tied up in inventory should not be dismissed as just some relic that should be allowed to pass into obscurity.....

The WDT's opinion piece the Mayor has linked to misses the point.
When the state constructs these artificial microclimates for business using restrictive regulation and taxation schemes and then on a whim changes them, real people are hurt.
The unreliability and capricious nature of the big government hand swatting at the latest public itch is one of the reasons doing business in this state is unappealing for many.
No job? Thank your neighbor for electing the fools making the rules.
Great Comments !
