Despite debate over liquor laws, Utah Oktoberfest likely to include beer after all
– canadianbusiness.com
SALT LAKE CITY – Beer is back on the table for a 40-year tradition at a Utah ski resort: Oktoberfest.
The festival at Snowbird Ski Resort is expected to retain its key ingredient after an apparent turnabout by the state liquor board.
The panel last month warned it might withhold a permit for the annual event under a stricter interpretation of state law.
The warning, say critics, painted Utah as staunchly sober and ignored years of protocol that worked just fine. It also has hurt the state’s image, making Utah a “laughing stock,” said Sen. Jim Dabakis, D-Salt Lake City.
Some legislators at Monday’s Administrative Rules Committee meeting wondered whether they should rewrite the part of Utah code that led to the apparent policy reversal.
They called on representatives from the state liquor commission and its policing arm, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, to explain what happened.
The state code hasn’t changed recently, but the new policy comes amid turnover in department leadership in the past few years…

Better know your greenhouse gas emissions talking points

In light of Stephen Harper’s self-declared frankness on climate change, David McLaughlin suggests environmental policy should be discussed the same way fiscal policy is.
Missing most of all has been a persistent conversation with Canadians on why this is important and what it will take to accomplish. That is striking, because when it comes to a similar inter-generational public policy issue involving tough, competing choices—deficits and debt, for example—those same politicians do not hesitate to speak so frankly.
The costs of eliminating the deficit are set out in the budget numbers while the costs of not doing so—higher taxes and reduced services for our children and grandchildren—are in the budget speech, like this year’s. “Financial prudence now leads to financial prosperity in the future,” it intoned. “When governments run prolonged deficits, they are spending money that belongs to future generations.”
The same model could, and should, be used for tackling climate change…
