ORS 471.403 is having an effect for a local home brewers of beer and wine. Under the new ordinance, home brewers are allowed to "brew" their own beverage however, you are not allowed to take it outside of your home unless you have a license.
"Earlier this month, the Oregon State Fair had to cancel their decades-old beer and wine home-brewing competition after the Oregon Department of Justice deemed the competition violated an 80-year-old liquor law."
with everything that's going on in the state of Oregon, including the recession... when and why did this become major concern?
one of the things that I really love about our glorious state... is that instead of addressing issues of more importance such as, oh I don't know, creating jobs in a recession may be... they spend their time on stupid issues like this and making the Dungeness crab the State crab.
In Oregon, as Ray Stevens puts it in his music video, we need to "throw the bums out" and get people in office that will actually help the state instead of hurting it.
We also [as I've been preaching] we need to put a system in similar to Parliament whereby the legislature can get rid of a governor or other elected official simply by a vote of no confidence.
I feel that having such a system would make our elected officials more accountable to the people and get rid of the attitude of saying anything to get elected without any consequences after being elected.
