Craig Group Wins 4 of 4

The Craig Group, Inc., Management Company of the OLBA, won all four of its local-option issues on the ballot in the March 7, 2000 Primary Election. As was the case in last year’s general election, Phil Craig attributes much of the success to the reconstruction of the site-specific question which became available to prospective permit holders in March of 2000.

"Voters have a predisposition toward the status quo," noted Bob Young, who manages The Craig Group’s local option campaigns. "The particular-location (site-specific) questions allow voters to approve liquor sales at neighboring businesses without having any affect on the wet/dry status of the rest of the community. It provides the best-case scenario to both voters and would-be permit holders."
