Grocers drop liquor privatization to fi ght new gross receipts tax By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau A grocers coalition says it plans to withdraw an initia- tive to privatize liquor sales in Oregon so the group can focus resources on defeating a cor- porate sales tax proposed for the November ballot. Oregonians for Competi- tion, led by the Northwest Gro- cery Association and Distilled Spirits Council, on Wednes- day suspended collection of signatures in support of Initia- tive Petition 71. The measure would end state sale and dis- tribution of distilled spirits and allow grocery stores to sell the products alongside beer and wine. “We know Oregonians want to buy liquor in gro- cery stores alongside beer and wine, like consumers in most other states,” coalition spokes- man Pat McCormick said in a statement. “Right now, we are shifting our focus to defeating IP 28, the unprecedented $5 billion tax on Oregon sales that would increase costs for work- ing families and consumers.” Initiative Petition 28 would tax certain corporations 2.5 percent on their annual Oregon sales above $25 million. The Distilled Spirits Coun- cil does not plan to participate in the campaign against the corporate sales tax measure but will look for a way to move forward its effort to allow the sale of distilled spirits in gro- cery stores, said Eric Reller of the Distilled Spirits Council. McCormick said the gro- cers coalition also would con- tinue to advocate for allow- ing the sale of distilled spirits in grocery stores in the next 12 months. The grocers coalition hopes lawmakers will pass legisla- tion to privatize the sale of dis- tilled spirits or that there will be more movement incremen- tally by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission toward allowing sale of distilled spir- its in grocery stores. ‘Doing our part to defeat it’ Oregonians Against the Takeover, which campaigned against liquor privatization, celebrated the news. “We are pleased the national grocers have decided to with- draw their unpopular ballot initiative to take over Oregon’s thriving liquor marketplace,” said Ryan Frank, the group’s spokesman. “Keeping liquor local will protect revenues that support critical government services, will ensure consum- ers are not subjected to unrea- sonable price increases and will allow Oregon beer, wine and spirits businesses to con- tinue to succeed and grow.” McCormick declined to discuss what kind of resources the grocers coalition will dedi- cate to defeating the corporate sales tax measure. “Suffi ce it say the members of our coalition are very con- cerned about the $5 billion tax on sales and its implications for consumers and increasing costs, with no exemptions for food, medicine and other kinds of essentials,” McCormick said. “It is certainly is going to have an effect on prices and costs so we want to make sure we are doing our part to make sure it is defeated.” Laura Illig, a chief sponsor of the corporate sales tax ini- tiative, said she doesn’t antici- pate any major changes in the campaign in the wake of the grocers’ decision. “Our plan is to continue to focus on what we always have focused on, which is explain- ing the need for and impor- tance of what IP 28 is going to do and why it is the right way for the state.” Pushing for alternatives The grocers’ decision to end their liquor privatization cam- paign came after members con- cluded there was insuffi cient movement toward a special ses- sion on coming up with an alter- native to the corporate sales tax, McCormick said. State Sen. Mark Hass, D-Beaverton, who has been pushing for the governor and lawmakers to negotiate an alter- native, lower corporate sales tax bill, has said the ballot mea- sure could result in a bitter fi ght between unions and businesses with tens of millions of dollars spent on political campaigns.
