The pleasant glow of Schadenfreude, over the resignation of the administrator of the OLCC after being arrested driving a wee bit tipsy. Of which I would feel less, except:
Oregon is one of 18 "control" states for liquor, which means the state owns the beverages at some point in the distribution process.

...

During Kaiser's tenure, the OLCC began a two-year pilot program to allow sales of distilled spirits in separate areas within supermarkets instead of in traditional state-run outlets. So far, the pilot program has brought in more revenue than expected, the agency has said. But it has upset some liquor agents who say it creates unfair competition.
That last sentence made me crack my head against the monitor.

VA is a state-controlled liquor state too.

Morons.
