SF 143 -help tracking down districts

I found this help for tracking down which district you are in (if you are like me and didn't know). It also provides email address for your representatives and senators: http://maps.commissions.leg.state.mn.us/website/districts/ More on the bill: http://ww3.house.leg.state.mn.us/bills/billnum.asp?Billnumber=sf143&ls_… ar=83&session_year=2003&session_number=0&year=2003&submit=Search and here is what I blathered on about in the emails I sent (see below). good luck to this bill, Don Alice, I don't know much about where this bill is, when it would become an act, or when you would see it. But I wanted to take a minute to say that I have been waiting for legislation like this to pass for a number of years now. I'm a beer advocate. I love finely crafted, locally made beer. When I travel around the country I always check out the locally made beer that I can not get back in MN. There are many people who do the same thing when coming to MN and we are thought to have a fairly respectable brewing community. However, the inability of our brewpubs to be able to sell beer to be carried offsite I feel has always been a black mark against us. Many of the states I travel to allow their brewpubs to sell growlers and even bottle their beer. That beer can then travel and be brought to a friend who would otherwise not be able to try that beer. That friend then has a higher opinion of the St. Paul/Mpls community just based on the kind of beer they produce, and might eventually stop by and put some $ into our economy. It's a romantic tale I suppose, but I have warm fuzzy feelings about Salt Lake City, Utah as well as Portland and Bend, Oregon for some of these same reasons. And as far as local $ being spent, if I am at a local brewpub and they have a great seasonal ale on tap, I would be inclined to buy a growler of it to take home and enjoy over the next couple days. This is not legally allowed as of yet. At any rate, if this bill or act ever crosses your desk or requires your vote, please support it. thank you, Don Osborn district 66b, Midway ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
