GUEST EDITORIAL By Kenneth M. Braun Grapes of wrath new state law prohibits Michigan con• noisseurs of wine and beer from purchas• ing these products and having them shipped directly to their home from out- of-state retailers. Instead, all such pur• chases will be allowed only from a state endorsed wholesaler. Introduced in November 2008 as House Bill 6644, the new law was quickly passed during the final days of the 2008 Alegislative session. It was overwhelmingly supported by 134 of the 148 members of the Michigan Legislature, and became Public Act 474 of 2008 upon being signed by Gov. Jennifer Granholm and enacted Jan. 9. Michiganvotes.oi^ notes the purpose of this law is to "avoid complying with a federal court ruling that held state restrictions on such shipments from out-of-state retailers to be a violation of the U.S. Constitution's commerce clause." The majority opinion in this case, Granholm versus Heald, re• lied in part on a July 2003 report from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission which concluded prohibitions on interstate alco• JAKEORHAN, A favorable reason to sup• hol shipments should be abolished because they result in in• KATE MOLLISON, port your local shelter or rescue creased prices and restricted choice while failing to produce IANMCCORD, team (an example of a rescue any measurable benefit.
