Liquor Initiative Debate

October 19, watch the yes people battle with the other yes people as well as the no people at the Crocodile.

October 6, 2010

The Stranger and Washington Bus host the free debate.

Do you know whether you are voting for a liquor privatization initiative this November? Which one? What will that decision mean for small wineries? How about craft brewers? What worries you about privatization? What pisses you off about the current system?

These are questions we need to ask right now, as we all have a big old honking decision to make in a very short time. If you’re still confused—and who could blame you if you are?—here’s an important event to attend: On October 19 the Crocodile will be the site of a free debate between the anti-privatization people, the Yes on 1105 people, and the Yes on 1100 people.

Pop quiz:
