According to an article within the masslive.com site, Gov. Deval Patrick is proposing to get rid of the cap on licenses, with the plan apparently being set forth to make it easier for restaurants and liquor stores to open in communities throughout Massachusetts--and also to compete better with neighboring states. The post says that the proposal--which is part of an economic development bill--would turn over full control of the licensing process to local officials.
The article mentions that the proposal was discussed yesterday, with mayors, selectmen, and other local officials meeting with the governor's administration to talk about the plan as well as other budgetary and issues concerning the state.
