All jurisdictions “control” the sale of alcohol in some way,
and about one-third of Americans live in jurisdictions with Local Liquor
Control systems similar to that of Montgomery’s.
Local liquor control in Montgomery County contributes an
average of $30 million in annual profit to the County’s general fund – helping
us fund schools, transportation, help for the vulnerable in our midst – and
more. Money generated by local liquor stays in the County, working for us – not
in the pockets of wealthy out-of-state liquor interests. Privatization will
eliminate this revenue to the County – requiring reductions in critical County
services and/or up to a $100 additional property tax increase for every
household. Plus the County would have to pay back $100 million in County liquor
bonds.
