Liquor Control Bill Faces House Setback and Tax Link
The Senate liquor control bill with home rule provisions faces stiff house opposition and possible rejection of the conference report, risking no law before Christmas. The plan would allow larger cities to license liquor stores and sell by the drink with a majority vote, while smaller towns require a special election. The bill preserves sale in original packages and sets an 80 percent tax on hard liquors, plus a one dollar per barrel beer tax, with heated clashes between lawmakers over its amendments.
