Letter: A question about Utah’s new beer law

Related Topics: Utah, Utah State Legislature

In this now-past session of the Utah Legislature, our masters knew what was best for us on several voter initiatives, and overruled them to fit their ideas instead of voters. And a couple of laws were passed to appease the LDS Corp.

One of those laws was to allow real beer to be sold in Utah in grocery stores and convenience stores. Nationally 3.2 percent alcohol beer is being discontinued, the maximum Utah would allow, outside of the overpriced state liquor stores.

Legislators, about 90 percent of whom are Mormon Republicans, didn't want real beer, or so they were told by their master.
