According to this item from the agenda for tomorrow Liquor Advisory Board meeting,it looks as if the city will consider expanding the sales of all forms of alcohol at convenience stores and gas stations and allowing grocery stores that currently sell beer and wine to also sell package liquor:
Discussion of and Recommendations regarding Sale of Beer and Wine at Convenience Store/Gas Stations, Sale of All Packaged Liquor at Convenience Store/Gas Stations, and Sales of All Packaged Liquor at Grocery Stores.
This certainly ties in with discussion about increasing revenue at last night's city council meeting as increasing the tax on packaged liquor was one idea advanced to help reduce the gap between city revenues and expenditures. If I recall correctly, increasing the packaged liquor tax by 1% was projected to increase city revenues by between $100,000 and $200,000 per year.
