It's enough to drive you to drink

I'd suggest a Beer Party like the Boston Tea Party, but who wants to waste good beer? Rep. Terese Berceau (D-Madison) has proposed raising the tax on beer from $2/barrel to $3/barrel.

"We've got a drinking issue in this state," she added, calling the beer tax a "user fee."

But Berceau's fellow Democrats, as well as Republicans who control the Legislature, are lining up to try to kill her proposal.

They're lining up like the passengers in "Airplane!" to slap the hysterical woman silly.
