Today, the Idaho Federation of Reagan Republicans will submit, to the Idaho Secretary of State, a citizen’s initiative to privatize liquor sales in Idaho and eliminate the Idaho Liquor Division. A draft copy of the proposed initiative petition must be filed at the Secretary of State’s office with the signatures of twenty qualified electors of the state as specified by Idaho Code 34-1804.  Upon submission, the proposed initiative must be forwarded to the Idaho Attorney General who has twenty days to provide recommended changes. IFRR President Jeff Ward announced that the initiative is an effort solely by his organization and no trade organizations or potential retailers were involved or consulted in the draft initiative/Reagan Republicans news release.

Question: Why do you think the new federated Reagan Republicans group is pushing a liquor privatization initiative?
