Which helps explain why Gov. Paterson’s proposed legislation that would allow grocery, drug and convenience stores to carry wine had failed to hit home for me. But it had not gone unnoticed by local business owners or the media. When Assemblyman Will Barclay was approached by local liquor store owners at Camillus Town Hall, I had a story to write.
I pursued the local implications of the issue and ran an article in last week’s Advocate, and although the story interested me personally I reserved my judgment on the issue for the sake of objective reporting.
But, that was last week...
