Will State Liquor Stores Die A Quick Or Slow Death?


CBS Philly reports: “The state House majority leader says his chamber will vote later this month or early April on legislation that would change the way liquor is sold in Pennsylvania. The question now is, what will that legislation look like? On Wednesday, (House Majority Leader Mike) Turzai would not say whether he would take a hard line in advocating for complete privatization, cryptically suggesting there might be some wiggle room on that point.” The options boil down to full privatization—or expanding liquor and beer sales to grocery stores, which would eventually lead to the phasing out of the state-owned stores.
