NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
LUPUS AWARENESS MONTH PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, each year, the Lupus Foundation of America designates May as National Lupus
Awareness Month to show support for the estimated 1.5 million Americans who have lupus; and
WHEREAS, lupus is an unpredictable and misunderstood autoimmune disease that ravages
different parts of the body. It is difficult to diagnose, hard to live with, and a challenge to treat;
and
WHEREAS, lupus can affect any part of the body, including the skin, lungs, heart, kidneys, and
brain. No organ is spared. The disease can cause seizures, strokes, heart attacks, miscarriages,
and organ failure; and
WHEREAS, lupus can be particularly difficult to diagnose because its symptoms are similar to
those of many other illnesses, and major gaps exist in understanding the causes and
consequences of lupus. More than half of all people with lupus take four or more years and visit
three or more doctors before obtaining a correct diagnosis; and
WHEREAS, while lupus strikes mostly women of childbearing age, no one is safe from lupus.
African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans are two to three times more
likely to develop lupus-a disparity that remains unexplained; and
WHEREAS, approximately 53,000 North Carolinians are affected by lupus.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED by the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners that
May 2019 will be recognized as "Lupus Awareness Month" in New Hanover County; and
BE IT FURTHER PROCLAIMED that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners, in
recognition of Lupus Awareness Month, urges New Hanover County citizens to observe this
month by educating themselves on the symptoms and impact of lupus, and to join with the North
Carolina Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America in supporting programs of research,
education, and community service.
ADOPTED this the 6th day of May, 2019.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
RESOLUTION
)
IN SUPPORT OF THE CURRENT ABC CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THE SALE OF LIQUOR
WHEREAS, the citizens of the County of New Hanover voted to permit the sale of liquor
through the establishment of an ABC Board, which is a part of North Carolina's control system
for the sale of spirituous liquors; and
}
WHEREAS, House Bill 971 (Modern Licensure Model for Alcohol Control) was filed on April 25,
2019 and this bill proposes privatization of the retail sale and wholesale distribution of liquor,
allows a minimum of 1,500 permits to be issued to any business that sells food (grocery stores,
convenience stores, pharmacies, variety stores, etc.) or to any "retail business", with additional
numbers of permits available for issuance based on population growth, with retail liquor sales
authorized between the hours of 7 a.m. and 2 a.m., and with those businesses allowed to ship
liquor directly to individuals in or out of the state; and
WHEREAS, North Carolina's local ABC boards operate about 423 retail stores, balancing access
to liquor and generating local revenue while maintaining control; and
WHEREAS, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services' website notes that
excessive alcohol use cost North Carolina more than $7 billion in 2010, that excessive alcohol
use is the third leading preventable cause of death in North Carolina, and that according to the
Centers for Disease Control's Community Guide on Excessive Alcohol Use strategies to reduce
excessive drinking include maintaining state control of alcohol sales and continuing to limit the
number of outlets selling and distributing alcohol; and
WHEREAS, the General Assembly's nonpartisan Program Evaluation Division (PED) was directed
to examine whether other systems for alcohol beverage control, including privatized systems,
are appropriate for North Carolina, especially to include the State of Washington, which
recently changed its beverage control system from state government control of wholesale and
retail control of spirituous liquor to a licensure model; and
WHEREAS, the PED Report, "Changing How North Carolina Controls Liquor Sales Has
Operational, Regulatory, and Financial Ramifications", released on February 11, 2019: (1) did
not recommend privatization; (2) found that among the southeastern states, North Carolina
collects the most revenue per gallon, has the lowest outlet density and has the second lowest
per capita consumption; and (3) the PED expects retail liquor consumption to increase by 20%
with privatization based on 1,000 expected outlets; and
9
WHEREAS, North Carolina is unique as it allows communities to vote to establish local ABC
boards for the sale of liquor in their communities, with liquor profits distributed back to those
communities,thereby reducing the need to increase local property taxes; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of the County of New Hanover, in voting to permit the operation of ABC
stores, did not vote to allow spirits to be sold in private retail liquor stores and did not vote to
allow spirits to be sold in retail outlets where beer and wine are sold; and
WHEREAS, no state funds are spent to distribute or sell liquor as the state and local operation
of the ABC system is receipt supported; and
WHEREAS, of the 50 states, North Carolina ranks 44th lowest in consumption per capita and 7th
highest in revenue per capita, and North Carolina's ABC system accomplishes both revenue and
public health, welfare, and safety objectives; and
WHEREAS, privatization will result in a marked increase in the number of outlets, longer hours
of sale, significantly more consumption, and increased societal costs; and
WHEREAS, local revenue from ABC store operations is important to support the local economy;
} and
WHEREAS, local control over the sale of liquor is an important function.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners
desires to retain North Carolina's current control system for the sale of liquor and believes that
privatization of liquor will lead to many adverse effects.
