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.

It still brings the state a significant amount of revenue. On top of that, nobody in the commonwealth wants this place to turn into MD which has crap looking liquor stores all over the place
Bootleggers would be put out of business.
