Liquor Tax May Be Issue
Rep. Tandy Little of Montgomery plans to introduce a bill to repeal the 3 percent liquor tax. Governor Wallace had earlier sponsored the tax to fund state liquor agents, but Wallace barred the agents. Little argues the tax harms consumers and distillers evade it by skipping a year of sales, leaving the system unworkable. Major manufacturers have left Alabama, replaced by lesser brands.
