Rep. Irwin’s bill is a good example. A bar or restaurant which already has a liquor license, that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, already has to pay as much as $2500 per year to renew a privately owned license each year. Then add $250 per year for a Sunday sales permit. Now a legislator wants to add another tax of $100 per year so patrons can “taste” something? A bar or restaurant is going to have to pay a tax to the state so they can let me sample a wine or beer to see if I like it or not? Only a dim bulb, with no idea of the economic problems we are facing in our state, would come up with such an asinine idea.

Rep Irwin, like all our elected elite, need to be focused on bringing jobs into the state instead of punishing the job producers we already have.
