I can’t for the life of me figure out why the General Assembly would be against privatizing the state ABC stores. I grew up in VA and the state-run liquor stores are about like you’d expect a state-run store to be. The service is crap, the selection is marginal, the prices are high, and the hours are inconvenient. Why not privatize and open up competition, and save money in the process? I can’t even understand why liberals would want to keep the liquor stores run by the state ABC.

Moving liquor sales to private hands would net the State more money. The State would collect the liquor and sales taxes while eliminating millions of dollars in payroll costs to lazy worthless bureaucrats.
I knew this was the ComPost just from the headline.
