Ma, Q # 1

[MikeTLive]

passing more laws wont stop people that are already breaking the law from doing so.

what I have seen is that the law on the books now limits a CHAIN from operating more than 3 groceries with liquor. so if they are all indipendent - like the big grocery in my town (plus two full blown within 1/4 mile) - then they can (and in my case do) sell booze.

this law wont suddenly have drunk kids on the streets.
legalize it and regulate it.
thats the only way to properly deal with it without having artificially high prices.

I don't know about the "Artificially High Prices" angle. I've bought booze in NH where the State regulates it and it is no cheaper than what we pay in MA at the Packies

And I know that the prices are higher in Pennsylvania and New York compared to what we pay.

So if that is the argument that the commercials are using to get you to vote yes on #1 then they are full O' chit.

I'm voting NO Mainly because the Big Companies don't need another way of taking business from the little guy.....same reason a lot of people here go to the Local B&T's for their fishing supplies

Hey, if it passes then you can go to Wally World to buy your beer......and Shotgun shells
