The Seattle Times: Court ruling aids Costco's state liquor-law challenge

Go Costco! Washington has a silly mandatory markup law that makes out of state wine and beer unnecessarily expensive by forcing stores to buy from a middleman and for both stores and the middleman to mark wine and beer up by a minimum of 10%. If they want to keep the price high to keep consumption low, raise taxes and put the proceeds towards free rehab. Giving profits away to middlemen is ridiculous. The Chuck yearns to be Two Buck.
