OLCC distributes more money this year, thanks to distilled spirits sales
During fiscal year
2002-03, the Oregon Liq-
uor Control Commission
(OLCC) allocated $5.7
million in liquor revenue
to Douglas, Jackson, Jose-
phine and Lane counties
and their 37 incorporated
cities.
OLCC distributed
$111.75 million statewide
during the 12-month pe-
riod, up about $7.5 million
from $104.21 million in
2001-02. This was par-
tially due to an increase in
distilled spirits sales.
June's statewide share was
$4.76 million. Another $3
million went to the general
fund in June under provi-
sions of HB 4013, passed
during the 2002 Legisla-
ture.
OLCC revenue is gen-
erated from the sale of dis-
tilled spirits in 238 liquor
stores, taxes on malt bever-
ages and wine, license
fees, and fines for liquor
law
violations.
During the year, the OLCC
pumped $60.12 million
into the general fund, in-
cluding $2.35 million in
June.
The distribution for-
mula is set by law with10
percent to counties, 20 per-
cent to cities, 56 percent to
the state general fund, and
14 percent for the state's
city revenue sharing ac-
count.
During 2002-03, Ore-
gon's 239 incorporated
cities received $20.4 mil-
lion and the 36 counties
got $10.2 million
($840,590 and $420,295
respectively in June). The
distribution is based on the
most recent Oregon Dept.
of Education population
figures. The city revenue
sharing account netted
$14.28 million for the fis-
cal year ($588,413 in
June).
Half the taxes on wine
and malt beverages, $6.56
million, went to the state
Office of Mental Health
and Addiction Services for
drug and alcohol preven-
tion, intervention and treat-
ment activities. The other
half was counted as gen-
$59
eral revenue.
The Oregon Wine Ad-
visory Board received
$199,101 from a special 2-
cent tax on wine imported
or made here ($15,627 in
June). The fund is used for
research and promotion of
Oregon wine.
OLCC collects privi-
lege taxes of $2.60 a 31-
gallon barrel for malt bev-
erages, 67-cents a gallon
for table wine, and 77-
cents a gallon for dessert
wine.
