PROBLEM: Motley, I wasn't defending the current system, I was merely explaining how it works. Anyone can apply for a license to start a liquor store and I'm sure the state would happily accept if all criteria were met and there were enough potential to support one. One thing our state does very well is find ways to extort more and more money out of us under the guise of helping schools, public services and whatever else the can conjure.
As much as I hate the state having sole control over liquor sales, the ballot measure proposed will be far worse in terms of selection and pricing.
I don't believe the state will accept losing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue which means they are either going to over tax liquor, as our friends in Washington have experienced, or they will find a way to spread it out by increasing taxes across the board.

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: I think these guys have lost touch with reality.  I have lived in AK for 40 years this year, taken my kids to numerous events; boys and girls clubs soccer, high school baseball, swimming, football, track, gymnastics, and now doing the same for my grand children.  I have NEVER EVER ONCE thought I needed to bring a gun along!!! WTF are these legislators wasting time for?  Dang....it's mind blowing.  GET RID OF THEM in the next election.  Thank you Dermot, stay on top of these wackos.

SOLUTION:
Yes
