Indiana liquor pricing faces cross border price pressure
Indiana officials warn that nearby Chicago and Illinois suburbs drive down liquor costs with Indiana buyers able to purchase four bottles for the price of three across the state line. ABC officials cite no fair trade law and note Illinois taxes are lower, while Indiana still loses revenue to illegal imports. Indiana collected $28 million in gallonage tax last fiscal year.
