Politicians on the take? Lol, no. The world isn't a giant conspiracy theory.
In the case of liquor laws, it's really simple: the vast majority of people would absolutely love to see more liquor licenses. . . but it's not really an important issue to that majority. But to whom is it a very important issue? Current restaurant and bar owners, who already paid hundreds of thousands for their license, and who depend on the existing system to provide them with an incredibly valuable asset that they can unload when they need to.
So in short: the people who really care about the liquor license regime in Massachusetts don't want it to change, and lobby hard to keep things the way they are. Meanwhile, there isn't really any interested party to organize an active opposition to them. That's all there is to it.
politicians in bed with, on the take, same thing. There was one very big MA politician that was 100% in the bag for corporate restaurant interests recently so LOL haha sarcastic face, youre wrong
