Rep. James Buchele questions high Kansas liquor prices at a House hearing on liberalizing the liquor code. He urges competition while ABC officials defend the price-fixing law as a means to keep the industry clean.

The bill also aims to allow retail stores to sell mixers beyond liquor and beverages.
