We received <br /> Bonnie Shea outstanding testimony from the City Administrators from Savage, Wayzata <br /> Apple Valley and Lonsdale as well as solid <br /> New Brighton, presentations from our liquor managers in <br /> TREASURER—Ex. Off, ghton, Elk River and Alexandria*. However, a spectator would have <br /> James Van Hyfte received the "feeling" that all the fine testimony was "falling on deaf <br /> Marshall ears ." The committee didn 't wish to hear facts ! Now it our all our jobs <br /> DIRECTORS to let them hear the facts whether they wish to or not! <br /> DIRECTOR-AT-LARGE <br /> Bill Voller Here is the game plan . Each City must do the following: <br /> Alexandria <br /> DISTRICT I 1 Review the packet of enclosed information ; <br /> Peter Galuska 2. A copy of your City' s 1985 Wine-In-Grocery letter is <br /> Byron enclosed i f you forwarded same to the association office; <br /> TRICT2 3. Place,,immediate phone calls to your Representative's and <br /> yril Yenish Senators (a detailed list of addresses and_.phone numbers <br /> Wells is enclosed) ; <br /> DISTRICT 4. Have the City Council pass a resolution against wine-in- <br /> Tom Ryman <br /> Montevntleo grocery stores at the next, or s ecial , council meeting; <br /> DISTRICT 4 <br /> 5 . See that every manager, city clerk, mayor and council member Arville Thompson write letters to their Representatives and Senators this <br /> Detroit Lakes very week; and <br /> DISTRICTS <br /> 6. Do it now! The contact of all House Members has little more Mike Kramer than a week to occur! <br /> Proctor <br /> DISTRICTS <br /> The manner of bill introduction and hearing date was a direct Dale Doerr effort to totally disenfranchise the municipal liquor movement, which relies <br /> Spring Lake Park on government due process procedures to carry out lobbying efforts. Two <br /> Dale Larson years ago it took six weeks to collect all the City Council letters, now <br /> Champlin you have six to ten days !! We must <br /> Dick Risacher Y produce and upstage the arrogant committee. <br /> Wayzata <br /> Bonnie Shea The bill , and Senate companion bill (S.F. # 1302) provides for <br /> Apple Valley mandatory wine licenses of $ 100.00 to all food handlers who have a 3.2%. <br /> Bill Zawislak beer license in the 7-County Metro area (65% of the wine market); ex_ emPtS <br /> Anoka r from all the restrictions on distance to schools churches, State, <br /> EXEC- SECRETARY }universiti_ 'es�tc. , and makes a compete mockery of the Split iquor concept. <br /> Lyndon Griffin Cvery City must reac-`or wine,—and surely beer, could be extended to every <br /> county during the next legislative session . Even Local Option is prohibited ! ! <br /> BE SURE TO SEND A COPY OF ALL LETTERS AND RESOLUTIONS TO THE ASSOCIATION <br /> • OFFICE. IF POSSIBLE, DROP A NOTE ABOUT YOUR PHONE CONTACTS AS WELL. <br /> All Must Fight , <br /> Arville Thompson, <br /> President <br /> 10001 Goodrich Road C Bloomington.
