New Liquor Measure Impacts Glubs and Dry Territory
Attorney General Cosson endorsed the Webb bill, easing enforcement against dry territory clubs and lodges. The measure allows shipments en route to be sold, even after consigment, and targets clubs that would ship liquor to avoid dry rules. It preserves private home use but blocks shipments to sellers, making the government a party to enforcement.
