Controlled Liquor Business Partial Failure
The board presides over state liquor stores facing a grave shortfall. With payroll over 2 million and fixed costs around 3 million, the chain would need roughly 125 million in sales over 18 months to net 25 million, a weekly 7 million target far above current one tenth. Cheaper brands yield smaller profits, and price hikes risk boosting bootleg competition. Officials propose applying first biennium earnings to inventory obligations, freeing second biennium for profit taking and possible removal of profits from the system.
