Alcohol Tax Pits Supporters Against Liquor Industry

By RACHEL LEVEN

Southern Maryland Online,

Supporters of a dime-a-drink tax told a Senate committee Wednesday they need the fee in order to provide essential funds for mental health, disabilities and substance abuse programs to Marylanders. But opponents claimed the alcohol tax would deprive retailers of their livelihood in the midst of an economic recession.

The Lorraine Sheehan Health and Community Services Act of 2010, which was presented to the Senate Budget and Taxation committee, would tax each drink of alcohol an extra 10 cents.

The proceeds of the tax would go towards health care, substance abuse treatment and prevention, and developmental disabilities support, or into the state’s general fund.

  • 1. · Maybe it should go into buying buses to send back the illegals! I guess not since the Dems need the votes.

  • 2. · I'm sorry but......when all the rabid anti-tobacco zealots basically said "lets tax tobacco to raise funds for anti-tobacco education, health care, and a host of other things", I don't remember a single person defending the owners of tobacco stores by saying "a tobacco tax would deprive retailers of their livelihood in the midst of an economic recession" The pro-alcohol lobby contributes a lot of $ to campaigns in Annapolis, don't expect this to slide thru ! And oh yes, the last 5 words of the above article scare the Hell out of me, proceeds would go into........."the states general fund" and from there to .......? And to give full disclosure, I am a cigar smoker ! grin
