I saw that in this morning's paper and thought, "how screwed up can gov't. get?" It seems to me that one way to trim the state budget deficit would be to eliminate the State Liquor Control Board entirely. Stores could and would sell everything the liquor stores do and likely turn a better profit. I'm no anarchist, but I just don't think the LCB adds value to our state. Keeping track of which bars produce the most DUIs is not relevant. Different bars serve different numbers of customers, etc. And the responsibility is owned by the person who chooses to drink, not the vendor who sells the alchohol. That's twisted logic to play the game "let's shift the blame."
