put this on my tab, pawlenty!

so, i learned something new today. the state, and sometimes the cities, owns and operates municipal liquor stores!

about one city operated liquor store:
"The store is owned and managed by the City of [i delete]; profits from the liquor store directly support public services and projects. The store also serves as a means of control, ensuring that sales are made only to responsible adults."

now, i'd like to assume most privately owned liquor stores try to ensure sales are to individuals who are of age (unless they paid good money for a viable fake i.d.), AND i'd like to think that no booze Sundays and closing liquor stores at 8pm or 10pm every day of the week you can buy booze would be enough "control". apparently the pi$$ poor 3.2 beer and several additional state laws are not enough, but what do i know?

if only i could find where my mom hid my voter's registration card...
