Miskovsky outlines plan for legal liquor control in Oklahoma
Oklahoma City Democrat George Miskovsky urged constitutional amendments on reapportionment school district reorganization and water resources while proposing legal control of liquor to replace bootleg rules. He argued prohibition is a myth, cited tax losses and law enforcement limits, and pressed for a package-store system with no on-premises bars. He spoke to the Lawton Lions Club during a 1957 campaign swing.
