Now up is amendment to reduce the requirement for behind the counter sales in grocery stores.

EDIT:
The proposed amendment is here: Indiana General Assembly, 2015 Session

Amendment defeated. 45-47. Dermody and GiaQuinta (two of the original bill's authors) voted against it.


The bill moves on in it's current form.

On the radio this morning it sounded like it would just be delayed, and might be brought up later this week. Hmm

And the liquor lobby wins again. Looks like their bought and paid for politicians have, once again, managed to do their masters bidding. These poison pill amendments, inserted at the behest of the lobbyists, were the death knell for the bill. Money talks, as usual. I would say it's time to clean up the legislature, but no-one wants to replace the cronies in office. They're happy with them.

Well at least I work in Michigan. I feel bad for you guy and gals not close to a state line.

When I worked in a grocery store in Michigan (admittedly, over 25 years ago), we couldn't sell alcohol before noon on Sunday. I imagine that's changed now?

In Germany, you couldn't dance at a club on a holiday until after midnight. It made someone feel better.

I'm not sure. I'm either there at about 2:00 pm or 1:30 am. They stop selling alcohol at 2:00 am vs 3:00 am in Indiana.

Did nightspots have coin-operated breathalyzers on site when you served?

What do you think?

Living so close to the Ohio border, it's not something that too many folks care about locally. Sunday trips to their drive-thru package stores are a staple of our existence.

At least Dermody did the right thing and take the bill around to the back of shed after the lobbyist gave it rabies.

Yeah, but it was so easy to solve. There was nothing the the state would have to do.
