As all things Oklahoma, I have little trust in anything positive moving forward to reality.

I'm going to guess this will be placed on the November ballot with the largest possible turn-out.  The result - voted down by our stark-raving mad Cruz/Trump-ers.

I did neglect to add (YET) after my original statement. 

If it becomes a county-by-county measure, I think this will pass in Tulsa County much like liquor-by-the-drink did.

State Rep. Todd Russ, R-Cordell, was in the midst of an emotional argument against the resolution when he suggested that blacks and American Indians should join him in opposition because they have a history of alcohol-related trouble.

I don't normally like to criticize someone's religion, but this racist yahoo is trying to force his religion on everyone else. He's a fracking Pentecostal Minister, you know, the speaking in tongues and snake handling people. This is the idiot that also tried to end marriage in Oklahoma so gays couldn't marry.

While I was at a meeting at Marshall’s yesterday afternoon, Eric was streaming this nonsense and uttering a few expletives of his own design. 

One of the things I caught was debate over whether or not clerks could be under 21.  What assurance was there that having servers under the age of 21 wouldn’t result in a bunch of underage drinking?

The stooopedz is strong in the OK Legislature.

No, he's more the cheap bourbon in a coffee cup type drinker.

Remember: not being able to force your religion on everyone else by force of law is religious persecution. Unless they try to force their religion on you, then that is religious persecution.  Just wait until the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (may we all be touched by His noodly appendage) takes over and the OK legislature is fully attired in pirate regalia drinking their mandatory pint of rum.  Then sh!t will get done!

Oklahoma Supreme Court Invalidates Retail Liquor Proposal

http://publicradiotulsa.org/post/oklahoma-supreme-court-invalidates-retail-liquor-proposal

Quote
The Oklahoma Supreme Court has invalidated an initiative petition that calls for a statewide vote on whether to allow wine to be sold in grocery stores.

The Supreme Court handed down the ruling Tuesday and ordered the petition stricken from the November general election ballot.

The petition, filed by the Retail Liquor Association of Oklahoma, was challenged by the Oklahoma Grocers Association, which alleged it unconstitutionally delegates legislative authority and is insufficient and misleading.

In a 7-1 decision with one abstention, the Supreme Court ruled the petition makes significant changes in the state's liquor laws and that the petition's written explanation of its affect does not provide enough information for voters to make an informed decision.

So the grocers were fighting this one?
