Idaho's Liquor License Problem with Will Hay

from The Ranch Podcast · host Matt Todd

Will Hay is a business owner in the Treasure Valley and an advocate for reforming the liquor license system in Idaho. Currently there is a quota system which restricts the number of licenses that can be in operation, but these licenses also have a rich history of being a controlled monopoly, essentially granting the owner a substantial market advantage over other business owners. Will came in to explain the history and way this has come to be and why he and others feel it should be revised.
