A ballot initiative this fall would allow Colorado grocery stores to sell wine and full-strength beer. (AAron Ontiveroz, Denver Post file)
Re: Colorado leaders cite lobbying pressure in alcohol in groceries bill, May 13 news story; and Hickenlooper should veto grocery store alcohol sales bill, May 17 editorial.
I found it interesting to read that Gov. John Hickenlooper hasn t decided what he is going to do on the bill for alcohol sales in grocery stores. I think he never decides anything until he sees which way the wind will blow. It appears to me he can t even decide what color tie he should wear with his suit, thus no tie. Now, with your editorial saying the bill should be vetoed — which is right on the money — will we see which way the wind is blowing?
I m glad Hickenlooper is term-limited. We need a better person for Colorado. Plus, if he ends up getting the VP nod from Hillary Clinton, at least he will be on a losing ticket, I hope, and he will be forced to actually decide something, like where is he going to work next?
