Iowa audit flags possible liquor sample abuse risk
A state audit of the Iowa Beer and Liquor Control Department finds potential abuse in importing alcoholic beverages for sampling. About 3 000 bottles were reported as sent by distilleries, while about 1 500 were received without kcknowledgment. The report urges full warehouse control and strict accounting. It notes a grand jury probe into liquor store leasing and indictments related to gifts, but says no criminal case is supported by the audit.
