JTN: The state of Oregon is investigating allegations that multiple members of its powerful alcohol regulatory agency may have abused their authority to secure rare liquors for their own use.
State Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said in a press release on Friday that the Oregon Department of Justice “is opening a criminal investigation into the matter involving ethics violations related to the purchase of liquor by some staff of the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission and possibly others.” more
Of course they did! Cops and “authorities” always have the best drugs and fireworks and guns.
It’s called quality control.
The petty tyrants who take such “regulatory” jobs are scum. This behavior is utterly unsurprising.

Don’t bogart that joint my friends, pass it over to me.
Many Years ago, before marriage, I was calmly having a drink with a woman I had just met in a bar when the Federal Pussy Inspectors approached us and conducted an official inspection.
They confiscated the product and ensured that It was not consumed in an unsafe manner.
God Bless the government & those they Empower with authority over us.
A Great Day for Canada, & therefore the World.
Democrats by their very nature and by the very principles of their “party” are corrupt. It’s part of the benefits package.
Are they leftists? Was the act nakedly self serving? Yes, they did it.
Except for the benefits of corruption, there is no justification for the state of Oregon to be in the liquor distribution business. Most states have moved on from that form of inefficiency. In states where the private sector distributes liquor, tax revenue is increased, and the cost of distribution is dramatically decreased.
On the other hand…liquor is about 20% more costly than in neighboring Commiefornia, so there’s that.
And now OLCC is supposed to be “regulating” the growing and selling of marijuana, and doing a shitty job if that, too; just ask the Mexican cartels now ensconced in rural Oregon. Once the most beautiful state, ruined by democrats.
Seems some of said idiot’s were hoarding Pappy Van Winkle bourbon. Some bottles go for $30,000 to $40,000(yes,thousand)750Ml. They will sneer & look down their noses at the distllers in Kentucky who make it, but they loves them some fine whiskey from the same place.
