Yeah we have state liquor stores in NH and they are much more expensive[1] than driving down to Massachusetts and going to total wine. The point of the stores is not to supply people in the Shire with liquor for cheaper. It's to make it more expensive and then use the profits to fund the state.
It's so thoroughly different in goals from the NYC plan that I'm in awe people would conflate them.
[1] For example Seven Deadly Zins wine is $19 in NH, currently very on sale for $13. Or its just $11.49 at Total Wine in Mass without any sale at all! Ketel One vodka is $38 in NH, or $28 in Mass.
