<br>
If there WERE any of these stores near me, then I'd be happy to patronize them but there are none.<br>
<br>
PLUS<br>
This law would allow the numerous corner markets aka tobacco and beer stores to sell wine thereby helping the owners who are for the most part individuals not corporations. Often they are owned by new Americans from Egypt or India who are trying to achieve the American Dream.

      <![CDATA[Julian, the reason alcohol is cheaper in KY than TN is because the alcohol excise taxes here in TN are about two and a half times the taxes in KY.  Also, if we had chain liquor stores like kentucky prices would probably be lower because the stores could buy more in bulk. But we don't, so prices are higher.

Lower taxes is one reason. <a href="http://www.taxadmin.org/fta/rate/wine.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.taxadmin.org/fta/rate/wine.pdf</a><br>

Liquor is way more.<br>

      <![CDATA[It appears that old sen harper is saying that the people who voted her into office should NOT have the right to vote on matters which directly affect them. Her vote to forbid a public vote would deny not only her constituents the right to vote but no citizen in the entire state would be allowed to vote either.

      <![CDATA["what do all of you have against the locally owned wine shops that have been around our communities for decades?"<br>
<br>
Because they are NOT "been around our communities"<br>
<br>
I live in Madison, the closest Kroger is 2 minutes by car, the closest liquor store is 15 minutes. <br>
<br>
My only problem is that this law doesn't go far enough; it should allow the monopoly stores to sell other items, liquor should also be sold anywhere, there should be no limit on the hours of sales.
