Opinion | 'There are many reasons why voters should reject this money-grab proposal from out-of-state chain grocers, and saving Colorado’s locally-owned liquor stores is one of them.'
arguing that voters should not refuse to go along with proposed ballot issues to allow unlimited wine sales in grocery and convenience stores “just to save the liquor stores.”
I point this out because are these out-of-state chains asking voters to make a radical and sudden change in Colorado’s liquor laws because they are worried about “consumer convenience?” Of course not. They are motivated by greed, and they simply want to pad their profits. Over 65% of Colorado’s local liquor stores are owned by minorities, and over 50% are owned by women. These local businesses that support Colorado families and provide a solid, middle-class income. The dollars we spend in local stores get circulated back in our local communities, benefiting Coloradans rather than CEOs and shareholders in other states. Systemic racism, sexism, income inequality and the shrinking middle class are major problems in the U.S.
