Here's the supporting
article. This article contains the same crap laid on Pennsylvania voters everytime this issue is discussed. Social implications, impact on the treasury, and - sorry there's a new one - lack of service to rural areas. None of these arguments holds any water in light of recent changes to the PA landscape under the Rendell administration, including revoking the helmet law and allow casino development in the state. Talk about social implications.
Free enterprise is the only way to get better service. This forum presents many facts about lack of service this state gets but heres a new one. The distribution of premium wines disheartrendingly uneven. One of my favorites over the last few weeks has been the Norton Privida, 2005. No where to be found in the state, except in Dallas, PA (I challenge anyone to tell me where Dallas, I grew up near there) where there is 50 units. 50! And you can't get them to ship it to stores where they can sell it. 14 bottles of Steele Pinot Noir in Gettysburg. These allocations are determined by the State and not the local or regional districts.
Privatization of the PLCB does 2 things if we don't look at price: Provides an opportunities for people passionate about wine and spirits to own stores and an opportunity for consumers to frequent stores that provide inventory that suits them.
These arguments are crazy and nonsensical.
