Points in Minority Report on liquor license policy
A minority report opposes governor removal of county and municipal officials and resists retailer wholesaler liability for violations. It rejects electing excise boards, supports a minimum license fee of 480, and calls for one license per 600 inhabitants. It favors Sunday selling with excise board permission for hotels and restaurants and criticizes current law for unfair testing.
Dissent on Power to Remove Officials Warned by State Commission
The minority report of the State Excise Commission, signed by John Howe and Caleb Van Husan Whitbeck, argues against granting the Governor power to remove county and municipal officials. They warn it would place far too much power in the executive and reverse constitutional limits on local governance. They note no justification exists to justify drastic remedies for excise enforcement and describe problematic brewery practices as context.
