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.
