Bush vetoes liquor sales bill in Texas
Gov. George W. Bush used his first veto to strike down a bill that would have created exclusive sales territories for seven wine and liquor distributors. He argued the measure intruded on private enterprise and would limit competition, harming consumers and retailers. The veto followed an Armbrister amendment tying territories to current contracts, a move Brimer called the bill’s killer. Opponents warned of monopolies and reduced supplier flexibility.
