This👇is BIG #NCPOL news…NC’s ABC Chairman resigned today amid on-going warehouse & supply issues for customers at NC’s ABC stores.
Will this “change in leadership” be another important step to FINALLY modernize NC’s (woefully outdated) #liquor laws & regulatory structure??🙏🙏 https://twitter.com/stillnbarrel/status/1440029200690339842
