2) Rep. Palmer's "no vote explanation"  by Admin003 on March 30, 2007 
Rep. Palmer, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I cannot support HB 4322 because I believe that public facilities should not be in competition with private business. In allowing these select community colleges to be eligible for liquor licenses, we are telling our restaurants who are already facing the pressures of a poor economy, that we are happy to ignore their situation and bring in a tax-subsidized competitor. Furthermore, it sends the wrong message for our institutes of higher education to be allowed to sell alcoholic beverages when we already have college-age binge drinking at an all time high."
