“My guess is there would be push-back from the LDS Church if you tried to completely privatize, including the wholesale side because of the belief that you can somehow reduce consumption if the state’s controlling part of that.”
But why is the DABC the only part of government ripe for privatization? Surely private industry could create a process for drivers licenses and vehicle registration that is at least as insanely frustrating as the state's.
And how about the Legislature itself? Why isn't it privatized so seats and lawmakers could be sold to the highest bidder.
Oh, I forgot, that was completed some time ago.
