Ben Kramer became engaged in a war of words Tuesday, accusing each other of conflict of interest when it comes to the alcohol and tobacco industries. At issue is a bill Kramer has introduced that would prohibit elected and appointed government officials who receive financial contributions of more than $100 from the alcohol, tobacco and motor fuel industries from having regulatory authority over the industries. Among the individuals specified in Kramer’s proposal are the comptroller, employees in the comptroller’s office, members of a local licensing authority, mayors or other “officer elected or appointed to any office of trust.” Franchot released a statement Tuesday claiming that Kramer’s bill demonstrates a “complete lack of understanding” that his office’s field enforcement division has in protecting consumers, by carrying out functions such as recovering lost revenue from illegal alcohol business, preventing tobacco smuggling and guarding against identity and tax fraud. Kramer’s bill was introduced Monday at the request of the Task Force to Study State Alcohol Regulation, Enforcement, Safety, and Public Health — a 20-member committee made up of legislators, alcohol industry representatives and law enforcement officials among others. The bill is scheduled for a hearing Feb. 22. Franchot, in an interview last month, said the task force voted 13-7 to strip him of his regulatory authority. He accused lawmakers of retaliating against him due to his positive working relationship with Republican Gov. Larry Hogan. “It is a corrupt concept that has as its only basis the retaliation against me for my relationship with Hogan and my independence,” he said of the task force’s recommendation. Franchot, a Democrat, said he thinks the effort against him is a reaction to his advocacy for the deregulation of the craft beer industry. Franchot statement noted the senator’s ties to the liquor industry in Montgomery County, pointing out that he and his sister Rona Kramer, the state’s secretary of the Department of Aging, own a building that houses a county- run liquor store and receives $20,000 per month in lease payments from the Department of Liquor Control. “Despite his obvious financial conflicts of interest, Senator Kramer has introduced this bill because of my efforts to reform Maryland’s archaic craft beer laws and level the playing field for small businesses throughout the state,” Franchot wrote. In an interview Tuesday, Franchot said Kramer’s bill stem’s from the comptroller’s desire to rid Montgomery County of its liquor monopoly. “He [Kramer] has an ancient grudge with me because I want to get rid of the DLC,” he said. Kramer filed a disclaimer of possible conflict of interest with the legislature after he was first elected to the House of Delegates in 2006. The state senator said in an interview Tuesday that ties to the county liquor store property have no relevance when it comes to the state’s regulation of alcohol, because the bill has nothing to do with the county’s liquor monopoly. “What is the relationship between that and this legislation other than a red herring to create some sort of impression? How does that relate to having DLC in a tenant space?” said Kramer, a Wheaton Democrat. NABCA Daily News Update (2/6/2019) 3 Kramer said Franchot’s statement was hypocritical, because the comptroller has taken contributions from the alcohol industry. Campaign finance records show that Franchot accepted $1,000 in 2017 from a political action committee that supports Maryland craft brewers. “That’s a legitimate concern that manifested itself in the task force. Should we have an elected official who is responsible for regulation in an industry,” he said. Kramer went on to accuse Franchot of “playing the victim.” “He’s taking a page out of the [President] Donald Trump playbook to attack and demean anyone that doesn’t fall in line with him,” Kramer said. Kramer, despite the harsh words, said he has known Franchot for many years and that the two have “gotten along fine,” but he is disappointed in the comptroller’s reaction to what he believes is a measure aimed to avoid conflicts of interest. “That’s not an attack on the comptroller. It doesn’t matter if it’s Peter Franchot or Peter Rabbit. I am focused on the best interests of the residents of our state,” Kramer said. ID: Business is growing for Idaho State Liquor Division Associated Press February 5, 2019 BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The Idaho agency that sells whiskey, vodka and other distilled spirits wants relocate or remodel nine of its liquor stores. State Liquor Division Director Jeffrey Anderson also told the Legislature’s budget-setting Joint Finance- Appropriations Committee on Tuesday that the agency needs more warehouse employees and pallet jacks because it’s selling more liquor. The agency is seeking approval for a 6.8 percent increase in its budget to $22.8 million for fiscal year 2020. That’s about $600,000 more than recommended by Gov. Brad Little. The agency distributed a record $78.5 million to various state entities in fiscal year 2018, with about 40 percent, or $31.5 million, going to the state’s general fund. Anderson says he expects the agency to distribute nearly $1 billion to beneficiaries in the next decade. Lawmakers will decide on the budget request in the coming weeks. NH: New Hampshire marijuana bill gets public hearing WCAX By Adam Sullivan February 5, 2019 CONCORD, N.H. (WCAX) Vermont, Massachusetts and Maine: All the states that surround New Hampshire and have already legalized recreational marijuana. Now, there is a new push in the Granite State to do the same. Committee hearings do not usually take place in the main House chamber at the Statehouse in Concord. But the possible legalization of cannabis brings out the crowds. "Granite Staters know that it is already legal to grow and possess marijuana in all three neighboring states. They ask, why can't we do this in the live free or die state?" said Matt Simon of the Marijuana Policy Project. HB.481 would legalize, regulate and tax marijuana sales in New Hampshire. Cannabis is decriminalized in New Hampshire and medical marijuana is available for certain patients. But supporters of the bill, who held a press conference before the hearing, say it's time to end prohibition of the drug. NABCA Daily News Update (2/6/2019) 4 "We are going to encourage people to drive as far as they can, across the borders, to get their product and bring it home with the hopes that they will not use it on the way back," said Joe Hannon of Lee, New Hampshire, a former state rep. And while HB.481 has bipartisan support, not everyone wants it to pass. Margaret Drye is a volunteer EMT from Plainfield. She's concerned about public safety and the lack of roadside tests for marijuana impairment. "We have one for alcohol, 0.08. It's an easy number to aim for and you know when you have crossed it or you haven't.

The Coast TGuard is a family, and with your support, the Coast Guard Foundation stands behind this brave service every day.

In October, Anne received the Coast Guard Distinguished Public Service Award for her outstanding contributions to the service. As the highest commendation bestowed to a civilian by the Coast Guard, this is truly a fitting award for her years of service to the Coast Guard community. I am so grateful for this opportunity and wish to thank you, our dedicated partners, for your support of the men and women of the United States Coast Guard and their families. Susan P.
