I doubt there is anything that will change soon but this should be the last straw for citizens looking for accountability from the state. I'm going to pass this story along to friends with a link to the state rep page. Maybe if a bunch of people start hammering regularly somebody will pay attention. My guess is that PLCB is the only PA agency that has positive YOY results (other than gambling). If there was ever an economic time for "ain't broke, don't fix it" now is it. So why spend $$ to upgrade a system that's growing revenue when the state is upside down?
The easy fix: if you're at all related to a state exempt employee you can't get a contract with the state - bid or otherwise.
The hard fix: get the state out of the liquor biz or free it up to compete like they seem to be saying in this article.
Send the article, write your legislators & tell them to vote your way or get un-elected. Remind them what it felt like after the pay raise in 2005!
