DRAFT <br />January 17, 2001 <br />Senator John Marry <br />Mary Jo McGuire <br />Mindy Greiling <br />As you are aware there is a strong push at the current legislative session, to extend the sale of wine within <br />the metro area to grocery stores. <br />The Roseville City Council has long been active (Mayor's Commission On Drugs and Alcohol Abuse) in <br />combating drug, tobacco and alcohol abuse as well as concern about the accessibility of such products by <br />our underage population. In accordance with those concerns, the City Council adopted the League of <br />Minnesota Cities Policy No. SD-27, a copy which is attached, that essentially opposes any legislation, <br />which could increase the risk of youth access to alcohol. <br />On the basis of the best information available at this time, the Roseville City Council, on behalf of its <br />citizens, ask that you be supporkive of the City's position and not expand potential youth access to alcohol <br />products. Please oppose any effort to extend the sale of such products to any outlets other than those that <br />are licensed under current state and local statutes. <br />Sincerely <br />John Kysylyczyn <br />Mayor <br />
