Seventeen years ago, voters overwhelmingly approved allowing beer and wine sales in our grocery stores and to eliminate the private club rules in our restaurants. The next year our sales tax grew nearly
28%, more than $5,000,000 additional tax dollars in part because we allowed people to shop locally. Changing this law to allow package fine wine sales, will keep additional revenue in McKinney. – Lisa Hermes, President & CEO McKinney Chamber of Commerce
