But StringCheese, *why* are such important services reliant on people purchasing alcohol, anyway? I think that’s a poor scenario in the first place. Is that the real reason the state developed their liquor stronghold – to wrest more money from its “sinful” citizens who should choose to imbibe? I think that’s the greedy part of the equation. If the state needs more money, make it up somewhere else. Well, really I’d prefer it if they could use the money they get more efficiently, but if higher taxes are really what’s needed, so be it. I just cannot abide a dependence on liquor revenue for our state to provide necessary services. That argument really rubs me the wrong way.
