There are two liquor privatization initiatives on the ballot this November-- Initiative 1100 and Initiative 1105.

I-1100 will provide a fair marketplace for consumers, while improving the Liquor Control Board's ability to enforce important alcohol safety laws. I-1105 is a self-serving initiative written by the two largest liquor distributors on the west coast. It's a lousy deal for everybody else.
