Rep. Carlos Bilbao, R-Emmett, while carrying legislation in the House to remove a requirement to place a specific yellow sticker on every bottle sold by the state liquor dispensary, held up a bottle. “It’s not the real thing, it’s just orange juice,” he noted. Removing the sticker requirement, he said, “will save the state liquor dispensary $500,000 a year … a simple process that saves a half-million dollars to us taxpayers.” The bill, first proposed by Sen. Mike Jorgenson, R-Hayden Lake, passed the House unanimously, 63-0, and now goes to the governor’s desk.
