Try examining the gender, geography and political composition of the committee and process both here and for the organizational sign-on's at the analysis on the SB921 site.  Coors Brewing is opposed to  921 - obviously for the potential reduction in $$$ created by the alchohol tax - how self serving can they get?!   ~~BC
