Minibottle referendum stalls amid Senate skepticism in Columbia
The Senate Judiciary Committee backed a minibottle referendum bill for a November vote and a poured liquor sale bill with a nickel per drink tax to offset minibottle tax losses. Sen. Moore pressed that the dual system adds costs for SLED and questioned the fiscal impact while Sen. Ford warned minibottles stay clearer and safer. A two-thirds vote hurdle and looming deadline threaten passage as House action remains uncertain.
