Question #1....any thoughts?

[timf]

To summarize my post here is the biggest issue:

Current law states that no one person/company may own more than three licenses to sell liquor. You will see some select stores sell it, such as the S&S in Malden which sells beer and wine, but not all stores. This is also why there are not more than three Martignettis/Atlas/etc liquor stores.
New law would allow an unlimited number of licenses for wine sales to be owned by one person/company. It would not change for the sale of beer or liquor, but that would be an easier to change and may not need a vote by citizens (not sure on that point).

I dont think its a very big deal...There are quite a few stores that already do it...

I cant vote but I see the mom and pop package ( liquor store ) stores just like a bait and tackle feed the little guy . We already got beer and wine in grocery stores ( no liquor ), 8 pm closing and NO sunday sale at all . I wont go to stop and shop or any other chain for my beer . Its the local store that is hurting because of insurance and the big stores . its like when sports authority and #^&#^&#^&#^&s moved in , gone were a few of the smaller bait stores . vote no just because you might put one of your neighbors out of business or out of work .
plus voting no is the right thing to do .
