Rep. Paiz , having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Increases the fee paid by the Liquor Control Commission to vendors of spirits and authorized distribution agents. I voted No because, according to House Fiscal Analysis, the bill would cost the state about $4 ‑ $5 million dollars in lost revenue. Given that our state budget will be a deficit next year, I’m trying to keep revenue loss to a minimum. If we were in better economic times, my vote would have been yes.”
