[Vision2020] re: liquor liability insurance

[Tom Hansen]

I am simply asking a question, not pandering for ignorance.  I have been
under the assumption for a long time that Idaho does have third-party laws.
I was (and am) asking for clarification.

Mr. Steed, if this is how you provide assistance to those seeking it, please
remind me not to ask you.

Thanks,

Tom Hansen
Moscow, Idaho
