It’s been a long and wild day in the Statehouse. Here’s a link to my full story on the outcome of today’s stormy debate and votes in the Joint Economic Outlook & Revenue Assessment Committee, and here’s a link to my full story on Rep. Jim Clark’s bill to permit and regulate distilled-spirits samplings, similar to how Idaho authorizes wine-tastings. Incidentally, the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States says at least 36 states permit hard-liquor tastings in bars and restaurants, and 27 of those allow it in retail stores (which Clark’s bill wouldn’t permit). The council maintains that “product tastings are a traditional, responsible marketing tool.”
