NPR: Utah Criticized For Limiting Liquor Licenses

Anyone thinking about investing in Utah should think twice with the tight control the legislature has over a legal adult choice

NPR had a great story this morning about Utah and Liquor control and being sued by the Hospitality Assoc.

It had business owners being assured that could get a liquor license which encouraged them to invest in their business then told it would be years since it was based on population.

Another Hotel wanting to build at a ski resort had pulled their 23M investment and not build because they couldn't get a license.

Greg Hughes stated they weren't against business and Utah has the best business environment. They also mentioned the LDS Church being involved and being against drinking and the influence it has. SLC Mayor Becker was also interviewed and shared his views that it hurts business.

My point is that NPR is a National News source and anyone thinking about investing in Utah should think twice with the tight control the legislature has over a legal adult choice. They also applauded the law suit in Federal Court against the state.
