The old sausce givin you the run around with price hikes. Try America's number one cash crop. Sticky icky out of the bag and a nice taste and buzz to match after the first drag. Weed, its' what's for dinner, 4th meal, wake and bake, forgot your cd's in the truck at work mid morning, after lunch treat, and after work delight.

Let's see, I suppose trimming Liquor Board expenses is out of consideration I suppose? Crap, other agencies are facing layoffs. And (rhetorically speaking) answer me this: WTF do we need a state liquor board in the first place? Talk about a place to save some money! Do away with it. Let private stores sell liquor, like CA and NE. Talk about a legacy agency. Complete relic.

Bummer.

Better put a moat in!

But the best thing about NorCal Bay Area is

SF Gay Pride Parade

If they made it private, they could actually lower prices and the state would still make more money. Most the liquor stores near me close at 7:00, which is crazy. Think of how often you'd be heading to Costco to fill up the liquor cabinet versus giving your buddy some coin for his return trip from Reno.

Of course, if they did try to take it public the holier then thou crowd would get seriously bent out of shape. I always loved their TV commercials against booze and gambling. Little kid looking through the glass door, everyone is drinking and pulling on slots. Booze will make you do some crazy stuff..... and they are going to protect you from yourself.

I say take it private. While they are at it, provide non tribal casinos with the same gaming rights as tribal casinos.

waitin for the tribes to cash in on this tax revolt....

Brian- Mine closes at 9!

i remember that ad...the sad part is that it was funded by the tribes!

Aunty!

Why do you hurt us so? You must have driven through the central valley in summer. Drink some of our cheaper booze while flying along in the 'stang and head for the coastal mountains or the Cascades/Sierras. None of us in "The State of Jefferson" really care if SoCal burns to a crisp.

It is only a 50% increase everyone. Come on. We will go after the smokers again next. Another $2 a pack should cover this years increase. We must protect you from yourself you know.

Danny,
I wish that was the case with me. Even 9:00 seems to early. The liquor store that was closest to me closed and is now an Outback Steakhouse.

The one in aberdeen is even open on sunday's,Don't ask me how I know.Good luck,
STRIKE ZONE

Time to give drinkin & smokin!!!!!!!!.

Did those two cost you 50% more also!?! I am glad I am not down in SF with Hankster, I just don't need that day in and day out. I do have to say that I love to visit SF as it is a lot like Seattle in topography and people, just no trees or view of the OP.

Looks like I might be going down on October for my 40th High School reunion.

JG!

I know you went to college down this way, was your high school in Chico/Durham? Drop me a PM if you'll be over this way.
