Plan May Make Liquor Enforcement Local Job
State Liquor Enforcement Chief Ivan W. Smith proposes shifting primary liquor enforcement to local authorities. He says the plan would free agents to assist police rather than handle routine complaints, rackets, and vice. With only eight agents overseeing 22 500 permit premises, local officials would take proportional responsibility while state investigators provide support on request.
