Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot says he’s going to fight a bill that he says puts a knife into the backs of local craft brewers.
The Maryland official was on the Eastern Shore yesterday visiting local craft brewers during the Maryland Municipal League.
The legislation would force local brewers to buy back their own products from wholesalers as well as force them to close their doors as early as 10 p.m.
WBOC reports that Franchot says the measure would cost the Eastern Shore economy billions of dollars each year.
