N.C. alcohol commission eyes Perdue's ethics push
RALEIGH (AP) — The closest thing North Carolina's disjointed system of liquor sales has to a central authority is considering a voluntary ethics policy after revelations of huge executive salaries and an extravagant dinner on a vendor's tab.
The state Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission on Wednesday is scheduled to discuss new statewide ethics policies for the county officials responsible for liquor sales in the wake of the revelations.
Gov. Beverly Perdue wants local alcohol regulators to agree to banning gifts which might be perceived as swaying booze buying decisions. Perdue has already imposed the ban as part of ethics rules that apply to state agencies under her control.
She said local alcohol boards that don't comply with the gift ban will be shamed on a state Web site.
