Booze Bill Heads For Wary Senate
The Kansas House passed a broad liquor law revision 76 to 46, increasing spirits wine and beer taxes by 13.9 million annually and allowing liquor by the drink in restaurants. Critics call it too far beyond liquor by the drink and seek a cleaner measure. Senator Edward Reilly eyes a conference to hash a compromise restoring the Senate’s original form while keeping some tax changes. The bill differs from the Senate version adopted weeks earlier after House amendments.
