BEING A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO THE SALE OF WINE IN GROCERY STORES
WHEREAS:
The ability of national and locally owned grocery stores to
sell wine will have a devastating affect on our existing
locally owned liquor stores; and
WHEREAS:
Minnesota's municipal and privately owned liquor stores have
done an excellent job in marketing wine and other alcoholic
beverages in a responsible manner; and
WHEREAS:
Widespread grocery store distribution of wine would be more
difficult to control; and
WHEREAS:
Many local communities generate substantial profits through
their municipal liquor, stores and these funds are used for
local community needs; and
WHEREAS:
The local liquor stores are usually family or municipally owned
and these owners and operators are residents, of our communities
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Columbia Heights City Council expresses
its concern and objection to legislation which would authorize
grocery stores to distribute wine without local licensing
authority.
