(Registerguard) - Oregon state officials hope to avoid losing control of liquor sales, as happened in Washington state this fall, by opening up the state-run retail operation, including giving grocery chains a chance to open “store within a store” outlets. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission also proposes to allow more existing state-­franchised stores to offer beer and wine. Together, the proposals could mean major changes in the way Oregonians buy their liquor. But a lobbyist for grocers called for a broader expansion of sales and said anything less “probably lights the fuse for an initiative campaign.”
