WA's Liquor Control Board gleefully rubbing its hands together.
In the election-before-last, Washington State's Liquor Control Board took a big financial hit. Washington State voters decided that it was finally time to shut down the state liquor stores, and give privately owned businesses the ability to sell hard alcohol. Now that the state liquor stores are closed and you can buy vodka at Safeway, the Liquor Control Board is losing a huge cut of the financial pie by not being able to sell liquor itself.
