I personally believe that our public overwhelming supports eliminating our county's unique
liquor monopoly, and that over the long term the economic stimulus provided by ending the countys
monopoly will result in a net plus for our county coffers and our residents. However, it is equally true
that our county can ill afford to lose the revenue currently generated by the DLC in the meantime. We
should not be forced to choose one or the other.
If you and your colleagues can find an acceptable revenue stream or streams, I am confident that
we will be able to simultaneously help our consumers, our county's economic future, and the state's
revenue, while keeping Montgomery County whole from a budgetary perspective.
Thank you for your leadership on this important issue.
Sincerely,
Roger Berliner
Montgomery County Council
Councilmember, District 1
