North Carolina Liquor Commission Recommends State Supervision Plan
The seven member State Liquor Study Commission headed by Representative Victor Bryant proposed state supervision of county liquor stores with revenue sharing 20 percent to the state and 80 percent to counties if a statewide referendum approves. The report urges reduced consumption, removal of illicit handling, and a balanced system combining county autonomy with state oversight. It details a proposed State Board of Alcoholic Control, its powers, salaries, and a referendum requirement for county by county adoption.
