Nothing has changed, except the name. Oregon will continue to on the same path, bummer.

Open up liquor sales to free market competition,  the argument against the Washington initiatives are weak . I am responsible for making sure my kids do not have access to alcohol, not the state,  this is about money the beer and wine industry do not want to give up their foothold on the market place,  as an Oregon resident I hope that Oregon abolishes the OLCC’s ability to sell distilled spirits.  Come on look how they handled the Jason Evers cover up in Bend Oregon, Put it this way, it is easier for me and my neighbors to road trip to the Redding California Costco, purchase all we need for our personal consumption. Washington is finally waking up to the 21^th century, I can only hope Oregon will also moves in that direction and allows up open market sales

buying alcohol in oregon is like going to the Adult book store and coming out with a brown bag...come open do really have to act like this?
