Richfield Liquor Stores
I was innocently browsing the City of Richfield web site tonight when I discovered "Liquor Stores" listed under Fire & Police as a government department?!? As it turns out, Richfield is one of 21 metro area cities that run municipal liquor stores as a local fund raiser.
Revenues in 2003 topped $9 million - divided by 34,502 residents comes out to an impressive $261/person. Of course this doesn't hold a candle to the booze hounds in Lexington, who dropped $1077 apiece at the liquor store coupla years back.
I had to calculate these numbers, so they're probably wrong - if so I blame PdfGrabber.
PS - was I dumb for not knowing the definition of off-sale liquors?
