freedom of What?
I recieved this bit of information tonight and it annoys me. Though it isn't as bad as what it could have been it still comprimises your freedom. The church has too much power and Utah refuses to separate church and state. It's time we demand that the Mormon church keeps its nose out of the business of those who do not belong to it and do not choose to follow its beliefs. It's the same principle as abortion, if you don't like it then don't do it. Do not tell us what we can and cannot do, and don't tell us what is good and what is bad for us. It is none of your business and quite frankly it is not your right. Keep your nose out of our business and we will do the same. I'm not a resident of Utah anymore but I still consider it home, and everything that happens still affects me.
The bill to change to Utah's liquor law, SB 153, has now been amended to allow minors in private clubs with significant barriers. However, this bill will still eliminate your favorite "mason jar" drinks such as: Long Island, Mai Thai, and Red Deaths. You will pay more, and you will face more ridiculous regulations about how much you can have. The bill also tightens restrictions on private club membership and guest sponsorship.
Consider the facts: 1. The bill was drafted with input from only a handful of people that it directly benefits; 2. The DABC asked the LDS church to review it before it was available to the public; 3. It was released to the public in electronic-only format only two days before the public hearings; 4. It more than triples the amount of money the state will collect in taxes and license renewal fees; 5. At the DABC's public hearings, the majority of the people spoke out AGAINST this bill.
Contact your Senators and tell them you want them to vote NO on SB 153.
