Objection
 

I strongly object to the proposed regulations.  As a citizen, registered voter, and public officer of the Commonwealth, it distresses me that any state agency, which is supposed to enforce the laws of The Commonwealth, seeks regulations that grant it the power to enforce beyond those laws.  Once this power is granted to the ABC board, the result would be the long-armed tyranny of the ABC, under which all licensees would be forced to live.  Again, I strongly object and ask that you please not pass any regulation that allows for enforcement beyond our laws, as passed by our elected officials.
