"Assembly Dems not likely to support liquor tax hike
By Patrick Marley of the Journal Sentinel

Updated: Oct. 15, 2009 3:08 p.m. | Madison — Assembly Democrats are disinclined to adopt a liquor tax to pay for stiffer drunken driving laws, an aide to Assembly Speaker Mike Sheridan (D-Janesville) said Thursday.

The comments came just hours after Sheridan said he was considering a higher liquor tax endorsed by Senate Democrats.

"We're not inclined to move in that direction to a liquor tax increase," said Sheridan spokeswoman Rebekah Sweeney.

However, she added that Assembly Democrats have not ruled out the idea.

Earlier Thursday, Sheridan said: "That (liquor tax) was just introduced. We're taking a look at this. The bottom line is we want to pass drunk driving legislation and we're looking at all our options as we go forward. I think the people have made it clear they want us to tighten up the laws in that area." »Read Full Article"
