CURE FOR WHAT ALES YOU: Delaware Proposes Raising Beer Tax
Our buddy Fool Circle received a letter from the American Homebrewers Association regarding a possible increase in taxes on beer. Here is a snippet from the letter:
A proposal currently moving in the legislature would raise the state tax on beer almost 50%. The small brewers of Delaware are asking you TO CALL YOUR STATE SENATOR TODAY to ask him/her to oppose this unprecedented increase as an extremely harmful measure to the state’s small craft breweries.
At this point, this proposal has not been formally drafted as legislation, but will be amended into an existing bill and voted on Monday, June 30.
It’s a little late in addressing the issue, but any of our Delaware readers checking this out should try to contact our senator to let him know how you feel about this beer tax. Frankly, I think beer is expensive as it is and I don’t need to pay any more for it!
You’ll need to find which district you are in and contact the correct senator!
Thanks to Brain and to you for stopping this beer tax!
