Here’s how your local state lawmakers voted on legislation this week:
House Bill 4842 – Revise state liquor wholesale rate detail: passed 33-2 in the Senate.

Under Michigan’s extraordinarily detailed “liquor control” regulatory regime, the state government is the sole statewide wholesaler of all distilled liquor, and sells to retailers at uniform statewide prices.
