Wiley--You are exactly right. Al.com had the audacity to publish a piece about how the state was doing it right on liquor sales. In summary, saying that Alabama was pulling in more money than the states that privatize it.
BS BS BS
Go across the Hooch and see the liquor stores' parking lots filled up with Alabama license plates. Go inside and check out the selection. Check the pricing. It's a total fabrication and there is no doubt that they are the worst numbers people in the world or the world's biggest finaglers. State run liquor stores are a joke and only a way to pad the pockets of politicians.
