I will be voting YES on 1. The liquor store owners have fabricated this whole public safety issue related to wine sales to hide the fact that they want to maintain their monopoly on wine / booze sales.
Thirty four other states in the US allow wine sales and guess what -- they dont have any huge public safety issues resulting from grocery stores selling wine.
I say screw the liquor lobby in this state as its only interested in protecting its $$$ monopoly at the expense of the consumers in this State. Dont believe me? Look at their history over the last couple of years:
1.) Just last year they effectively derailed/ gutted the ability of vineyards to ship wine to customers in this state under the B.S argument that minors were going to purchase wine and have it shipped to them. Yea right! Lots of teens out there ordering Opus One online at 75 bucks a bottle!
2.) The liquor lobby also tried their hardest to prevent Sunday liquor sales in the state of MA. They again played the BS public safety issue card on this one too. The fact is they did not want to have to open on Sundays in order to protect their pocketbooks.
The liquor lobby in MA wants to operate under some type of quasi Socialist system at the expense of US THE CONSUMERS! Their whole public safety argument is a huge boondogle in an attempt to protect their pocketbooks.
VOTE YES ON 1 and screw those trying to screw us the consumers!
