Even store owners reporting cases of booze going into out of state cars. Why would a store owner want to get his best customers busted? Upright citizenship. The DC folks are very law-abiding. Besides, the city was losing tax money - money that could have gone into the pockets of some of the city councilmen. The liquor license is a very valuable thing. Nobody in DC was going to threaten a high volume dealer who was pumping extra tax money in the DC coffers from Maryland and Va customers. DC always had a contentious relationship with Md and Va anyway because the suburban DMVs would not go after people with DC parking tickets. They didn't even have reciprocity with moving violations when I was there I was revoked in DC and Md never knew it. I thought the difference in taxes was reduced years ago and this was a less attractive thing to do ... or did Md and Va raise their taxes again? I know bringing cigarettes up from North Carolina used to be a popular thing to do. I did some price checking for booze between Montgomery County and Fairfax County a couple of years ago. It was all over the place. Some things were cheaper and some things weren't. The one thing that was different was wine costs and wine selection in Fairfax county. Since everything in Montgomery county, alcohol wise, is bought through the county your selection is limited. Fairfax has a wider selection of wines and at much better prices. I don't smoke any more and I don't buy smokes for my wife either so I can't talk about the costs of tobacco. |
