County Believes Politics Causing Comptroller To Stall Wholesale Liquor Distributor Probe

SNOW HILL — Word is still out on whether a complaint lodged by the Worcester County Department of Liquor Control (DLC) against liquor wholesaler Reliable-Churchill has triggered an investigation by the state Comptroller’s Office.

The state is only willing to acknowledge it receive the letter at this point and would not confirm nor deny an investigation. It’s been a little over a month since the county filed an official complaint with the Comptroller’s Field Enforcement Division asking for an investigation into a transaction made between the DLC and Reliable-Churchill.

DLC Director Bobby Cowger said this week there has been no response so far from either Reliable-Churchill or the Comptroller’s Office to the county complaints and no signs of an investigation.

The Comptroller’s Office confirmed Monday it received the letter of complaint but is not in a position to comment. The county didn’t even know that much, said Cowger, since the state has had no contact with Worcester over the letter.

    The Comptroller’s Field Enforcement Division is run by agents that are retired police officers who don't care to "really" work for their paycheck. It will only be done when enough press gets out asking for them to do something. And when they do, they screw it up.
