POLL #14: Initiative 1183: Privatization of Liquor

On November 8th we will be voting on Initiative 1183. This is the Costco backed effort to get Washington State out of the liquor business. If voters pass this initiative, it will allow all larger business to purchase hard alcohol directly from manufacturers and sell to the public or another retail merchant at maybe lower prices. This is similar to laws in other states.  The usual laws about minimum drinking age and checking ID still apply. And the state would still get it's tax revenue on all sales. Poll question is: do you support ending Washington State's monopoly on the sale of 'spirits'?

I have finally created a new poll. It's about the demonstrations spreading across the USA called 'Occupy Wall Street'. They're even here in Spokane holding down the intersection of Monroe & Riverside. Their purpose to call attention to the financial giants on Wall Street, blaming them for the economic hardship sweeping the country, including home foreclosures. They're  upset with the lack of jobs, the unwillingness of institutions to loan out the money taxpayers loaned them so small businesses could expand. They're also upset with tax rates of higher earners and corporate influence in politics.


What are your thoughts? Do you feel they're right on? Or do you think these are mostly uninformed people who just like to complain? Do the poll.
