1st Law Amended Legislation Sets Liquor Profits
High Point could keep 75 percent of liquor store profits to fund city operations if ABC stores are approved. The 1967 amendment redirected profits to the general fund, county, and education, with referendums in 1955, 1965, and 1968 shaping the outcome. A new ballot push looms as supporters seek a public vote with full profit figures.
