G O P Plank Seeks Liquor Law Repeal And Home Rule Licenses
The republican resolutions committee will study a platform plank for repealing the state Liquor Control Act and its beer port of entry system. A home rule plan for issuing dealer licenses is proposed, with county commissioners deciding license grants. The platform also favors nonpartisan judge elections on separate ballots. Delegates from 92 Indiana counties converge for the state nominating convention to pick a U S Senate nominee and 12 state officers. The liquor plank would end the state excise police method and shift license granting to county authorities, while state taxes on alcohol remain. Local license fees would still pass to the state for redistribution to municipalities and schools. Subcommittee members include Denny, Thomas, Craig, Niblock, Ogle, and Emmert.
