No Beer? Minnesota Can Solve That Problem


Minnesota's leaders could not agree on a budget by the time their new fiscal year began. So, they did what every legislator and governor does: shut down the state. So, who cares about the consequences, they had to stick to their principles. At least until word got around that there would be no beer available in Minnesota while the state was shut down. Liquor permits could not be issued. Distributors could not get approval from the state. MillerCoors could not get the state paperwork completed in time, it would have to pull all of its brands off the market; bars and liquor stores would not have any MillerLite. A major problem, right? Dedicated lawmakers can solve major problems. The budget was passed within 36 hours of MillerCoors announcement.
