KAGRO (Korean-American Grocers and Licensed Beverage Association of Maryland) is an organization that represents Korean owned mom-and-pop shops and liquor stores throughout Maryland. Many members own liquor stores in Baltimore. If you attend a liquor board hearing you will observe that KAGRO representatives are there in support of many of the most notorious liquor stores in Baltimore. KAGRO is a powerful group that vigorously defends its members. In the recent Linden Bar and Liquors case there were a few state level legislators who expressed displeasure over the liquor board's ruling to revoke the store's license.
Below are the names of politicians that KAGRO has made political contributions to over the last few years. One name that sticks out is City Council President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. She was in the news recently because she expressed concern about liquor establishments with BD7 licenses that allow taverns to sell take-out liquor seven days a week. Many of these "Taverns" have no seating for patrons and are in fact nothing but liquor stores. Linden Liquors and many establishments represented by KAGRO take advantage of this loophole to sell package goods on Sundays. It is hard to be taken seriously when you attack the practices of KAGRO members but at the same time take money from them.
