State Liquor Prices Higher Than Law Requires
State Liquor Dispensary superintendent Fred Charlton says Idaho liquor prices rose beyond the new law. The 1968 Legislature raised surtax and dropped the 50 cent liquor permit fee, removing about 250000 in two years, so retail prices were raised by five cents a bottle to offset lost permits. The note also mentions permit restrictions tied to suspended licenses.
