STEELE — Melissa Johnson pores over bills and invoices in her closet-like office at the back of the SuperValu. One of her employees peeks in. A customer is looking for some pork casings, and Johnson replies that they should be in within the week.

The store is well-stocked, with just about any staples one would find in Bismarck, about half an hour away, and Johnson is always willing to get what her customers need, right down to the sausage-making supplies needed after hunting season.

The last two years have been good ones for Lyon Distilling. At the small rum producer in St. Michaels, Maryland, a town on the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay, production has jumped from 4,000 bottles a year to 40,000. Four employees have become 15.

Explosive consumer demand explains some of that growth, said Jaime Windon, the company’s chief executive and co-founder. But she attributes most of it to a steep cut in federal excise taxes on alcoholic beverages, which Congress passed at the end of 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  Continue reading “Liquor Taxes Could Go Up 400%, Thanks to Congressional Dysfunction”

On Monday, the New Jersey Assembly voted to extend driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. Given the importance of driver’s licenses for voting, this seems a dangerous step toward ushering illegal immigrants to the polls.

The legislation, A4743/S3229, would create a two-license system in the state. While the REAL ID federal license would only be open to citizens, non-citizens would be able to acquire a standard license for driving and identification purposes.  Continue reading “New Jersey Gives Illegals Driver’s Licenses.
