Liquor Stores Sue County Over $5K Fee | Washington DC News
Over fifty businesses in Prince George’s County are suing the county over a new $5,000 annual fee targeting liquor, tobacco, gun, and self-storage shops — while other businesses pay just $375. Lawyers argue it’s an illegal tax, violating state law that limits fees to regulatory costs, not general revenue. The county claims these businesses harm quality of life, but even staff warned of legal problems before passage. Business owners say this discriminatory fee denies them equal protection under the law. Thank you to our sponsor Garrett Waller Performance: http://coaching.garrettwaller.com…
