The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Nate Myers present episode 301 of the In The Tank Podcast. The ITT crew talks about Independence Day, beer taxes in your state, and the new COVID-19 Delta variant. Is this new strain of COVID more dangerous than the original? … probably not.

Tax Foundation – How High are Beer Taxes in Your State?
https://taxfoundation.org/state-beer-taxes-2021/?utm_source=Tax+Foundation+Newsletters&utm_campaign=90518997f0-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_10_17_07_28_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8387957ec9-90518997f0-427651737&mc_cid=90518997f0&mc_eid=2a22e1c471
Maybe we can just write this off as a single data point that is not indicative of a larger trend, but I suspected we would see MUCH higher taxes on beer in Blue nanny states? I thought for sure Illinois, NY, and Cali would be dark red on this chart, not TN, KY, and SC.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, some state policymakers have tried to deregulate the medical marketplace. Historically, free-market health care reforms have resulted in lower costs, higher quality of care, and more accessibility. Over the past year, several states have reformed draconian Certificate of Need laws, expanded telehealth, fought Medicaid expansion, and much more.
During this June 17 health care reform webinar presented by The Heartland Institute, Christina Herrin and Cameron Sholty provide health care legislative updates and answer questions regarding future health care policy goals.
