Recently there has been much discussion of the repeal of Utah's anachronistic Private Club law which requires a membership for those who wish to go to many bars. The governor supports the change as something that will help tourism; and it has seemed likely that change was in the wind. Now it appears that John Valentine, the Senate President, opposes this change; and his opposition may be enough to derail it. Well, there is also an effort underway to change the law through a petition and ballot initiative. Either way, the change should be made. Since public opinion polls show widespread support, the legislature should save all of us a lot of money, and do their job.

At the same time, the DABC wants more money to police alcohol establishments. A recent article in Salt Lake City Weekly exposed just the tip of the iceberg concerning the efforts of the Commission to harrass bar owners and patrons in ways that are unfair, devious and unnecessary. The Libertarain Party supports all of your freedoms, and opposes enforcement which appears designed to entrap, rather than to discover legitimate violations.
