New tonight at 11 00, if you live in montgomery county, you could have the deciding vote on how you get your beer and wine. Thats only if a state lawmaker gets his way. Tonight Tisha Thompson in the news4 iteam show why some leaders say that vote could cause the county big money problems. In montgomery county, all of the beer, wine, and spirits you buy must first be sold from this governmentowned warehouse. Which brings in more than 30 million a year in profits. But state delegate bill fricke introduced an alcohol privatization bill calling for a voter referendum to bypass the warehouse. If the voters so choose, privacy licensees, a restaurant, the delis and beer and wine shops would have the option of being able to purchase from a private wholesaler. Reporter starting last year the news4 iteam has exposed Serious Problems with the department of liquor control including theft and complaints from restaurants and businesses unable to get what they ordered. Prompting the county council to craft its own bill allowing for some privatization of special order beer and wine. But employee unions as well as county executive ike legislate and most of the council oppose the bill saying it could eliminate jobs and cause serious financial problems because the liquor money is tied to transportation bonds. I dont think that oversimplifying the issue in a ballot referendum would really explain, for example, that if we dont have the liquor revenue, were probably going to have to raise taxes. Reporter any type of alcohol privatization requires changing state law. Both bills are headed to the Maryland State House where they will be debated this winter. Tisha thompson, news4 iteam.

In first place, the redskins, they got to hold on to this. Everybody is happy. Hold on to it for a few more weeks, the rest of the season i should say. But you should be excited about what you saw yesterday. The last two seasons had been rough for redskins fans. Two years of being at the bottom of the nfc east division made yesterdays victory versus the giants that much more enjoyable. Now that the skins lead the division, jay gruden wants to make sure his players are focused on what got them to this point. His message to the team was pretty clear today. Dont get too excited reading the paper. Dont pat yourlf on the back over a win or dont beat yourself up too bad over a loss. We just have to stay consistent in our approach. And i think we have for the most part. We just have to try to figure out a way to put backtoback games together like ive said for a while. Cant get comfortable just because you had a big win against a division opponent in first place. We have to continue to push even harder. Weve got to continue to win the games, arriving to the playoff. Thats our goal. So we have dallas monday night. And thats our focus. Were not looking ahead at all. First place feel good. But you got to stay there. Now, as for the rest of the schedule for the redskins, here it is. All five teams they play from here on out, theyre all below 500. Three of those contests are division games. Right now they own the tiebreaker over the giants. The next game the big one, a skins versus cowboys at fedexfield on monday night.

Virginia tech did find their next leader to take over for frank beamer. Hokies hiring memphis head football coach justin fuente. The last year the tigers won their first championship since 1971. No easy task for fuente taking over for frank beamer. But he is happy to be in blacksburg right now. This is bigtime College Football. And we all want our shot at coaching at the highest level. I feel like this is obviously a program that has had tremendous success. You do have to follow a legendary coach, however. But i really believed in everything i had heard about the way this place went about its business. And i wanted to be a part of it. Elsewhere, reports out tonight, maryland has reached out to a huge name for their head coaching vacancy. Mark richt. Fired after two s. E. C. Championships and 145 wins. Richt says he is not sure what hell do next season. But terps were to bring him to college park, that would be a huge get for the maryland terrapins. I cant believe he was fired after averaging close to 10 wins a season over 15 years in georgia. Expectations are high. A little bit too high. 10 wins a season will get you a statue in college park. Statue in college park. Thank yo depends on whos in the sidecar. Its pretty comfortable in there. Lets go for a ride. Alright. Definitely misread this one. Geico motorcycle, great rates for great rides. Swing and a miss so our morning is going to get off to a nasty start. It really is. Were talking the umbrellas tomorrow. Tomorrow its the big umbrellas.
