					<description><![CDATA[Saying it could hurt job creation, Gov. Rick Scott vetoed a contentious bill that would have removed the ‘wall of separation’ between hard liquor and other goods. Scott filed his veto letter of the measure (SB 106) on Wednesday night, his deadline to act on the bill. It&#8217;s the first veto of a bill from the 2017 Legislative Session. It would have removed the 82-year-old requirement, enacted in Florida after Prohibition, that hard liquor be sold in a separate store. Beer and wine&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Costco now is joining Wal-Mart, Target and others in one last push to get Gov. Rick Scott to sign a bill to remove the ‘wall of separation’ between hard liquor and other goods. Their Floridians For Fair Business Practices coalition on Friday released a tranche of letters sent to Scott encouraging him to OK the legislation (SB 106) known by the nickname &#8220;whiskey and Wheaties.&#8221; They also include representatives of Whole Foods Market, the Distilled Spirits Council and the Florida Restaurant &#38; Lodging Association.&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The reaction to the Florida Legislature&#8217;s repeal of the state&#8217;s &#8220;booze wall&#8221; law continued long after Wednesday&#8217;s vote. The House, on a close vote of 58-57, passed the Senate’s bill (SB 106) to allow retailers to remove the ‘wall of separation’ between hard liquor and other goods. (Full story here.) The legislation now heads to Gov. Rick Scott. If signed into law, the state will end 82 years of mandating that retailers sell distilled spirits in a separate store from other items.
