David WeinsteinState Sen. David Weinstein wants to run the alcohol commission.

The Lumberton Democrat, now in his seventh term, told the Fayetteville Observer he plans to retire from the legislature at the end of the year.

"It's not as fun as it used to be, all that — the ethics, and the people report anything you do," he said. "They always report the bad things, not the good things, and we do a lot of good things." 

He would like to be the next chairman of the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission.

Former chairman Doug Fox resigned this week after a Dome contributor showed Gov. Beverly Perdue a racist e-mail he sent from his work account.

Weinstein campaigned for Perdue in 2008.

Yes, sounds like he would make an excellent appointee!
