Again, maybe I'm just simple-minded, but I only see one possible vote on 1183: YES.
Regardless of any possible consequences from the passage of 1183, and the 'no' group keeps telling us there are many negative ones... all you have to think about is the 'roll of government'.
Never should government run a business. Not only are they not good at it... look at the waste and inefficiency of any government program... it is not what government is for. The government is there to protect and serve the citizens. This usually means providing such things as police, fire, and ensuring safe environments and etc. At no time should a government run a business.
Washington is one of a small minority of states still running liquor stores. That alone should tell you something.
If there are problems with non-state entities selling liquor, then it is the state's responsibility to regulate and enforce. Having the state be the only vendor is hardly the only way, or even best way, to accomplish that.
So again, there can only be one logical vote on 1183. YES. Get the government out of running a business.
