All Local Bills Dead

This post could be--and maybe should be--very long. Our local bills were killed by certain opposing forces yesterday. I know how and why, but any statements I make about the details must fit into our overarching long term strategy. In other words, I don't want to go into great detail right now if there is a chance that would negatively impact our chances for success in a special session this year or the regular session next year. There are many critical conversations I need to have, and tremendous effort needs to be put into calculating our response to what happened this session.

I'm sorry to be so cryptic, but my priority is the ultimate success of our efforts to reform Alabama's beer laws. I believe that goal mandates that I hold my cards close to my chest right now.

Anyway, I've said it before and I'll say it again. We're not going to stop until better beer is on the shelves of Alabama retailers. Thank you for your support and patience. Alabama politics is a crazy mess, and getting anything done is a monumental challenge, as the AL Senate proved this year by doing almost nothing at all the entire session.

Anonymous said...: It's unfortunate that the opposition is so bent on being our moral arbiters. There's almost no credibility to the arguments that they are using against us, yet they continue to succeed. Even if there were some minimal truth to the concerns they are spouting, the people of this state at some point have to wake up and realize that some tiny percentage of bad is acceptable in the interest of personal liberty. It's this trade-off that forms the very foundation of free society. There are lots of “democracies” in the world. What makes our nation special isn’t that it was founded as a democracy but that it was founded on principles of personal freedom, particularly from the government itself.; June 01, 2007 8:30 AM
