Alcohol Justice is raising a red flag over language from S. 236 / H.R. 747—the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act of 2017— inserted into the Senate version of the Republican tax cut bill that passed out of the Senate Finance Committee on a party line vote Thursday, November 17, 2017. The language mandates savage, reckless cuts to alcohol excise taxes, as contained in an amendment put forth by Committee Member Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio). The Senator, according to OpenSecrets.com has received $210,981 from beer, wine and liquor interests since 2010, including at least $29,000 from Boston Beer executives and family members.

However Raiders QB Derek Carr broke his leg in a Week 16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts and that essentially torpedoed the Raiders’ season. Now in the present, the two teams met down in Mexico City for a Week 11 showdown. However those who were expecting a tight, close game were in for a rude awakening as the Patriots showed that they could play anybody anywhere and still give them a solid beatdown.

For me, going to conventions is a lot like going to an amusement park. I have a great fondness for both, habitually go once a year, and am often left wanting more. On Friday, this writer went to the opening night of the Rhode Island Comic Con and like my trip to Six flags this summer, my time was filled with great anticipation, long lines, and a less than stellar pay off. |
