Ind. Law - Reader asks good question about small wineries bill

Just a few minutes ago the ILB posted an entry (scroll down two) about Senator Garton's action on the canned deer hunting bill, quoting from a story in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette by Niki Kelly:

Senate President Pro Tem Robert Garton, R-Columbus, sent the bill to the Senate Rules Committee where he said it will die.

He said the Senate for years has refused to pass legislation that would affect pending litigation, and a lawsuit was filed in August against Hupfer and the DNR after the agency moved to ban the facilities.

A reader has written to ask: "I wonder what this means for small winery shipping . . . ".

Good point, as that matter is also in litigation. See these ILB entries from Nov. 17, 2005 and Nov. 29, 2005.
