If there's one place Gov. Larry Hogan's drive to make Maryland government more business friendly isn't needed, it's the Baltimore liquor board. To say that it historically has been a rubber stamp for the liquor industry would be incorrect in that it would suggest that the board bothered with the kind of paperwork on which stamps are required. But even if Mr. Hogan wanted his three nominees to steer the board toward greater sympathy for the license holders and less deference to the concerns of the community, we would at least expect them to do so within the confines of the law. Unfortunately, a coalition of neighborhood and community groups are arguing that they are consistently failing to do even that.
