It's fiscally irresponsible to privatize!
The PLCB has instituted improvements such as online marketing, staff training, specialty stores, expanded and Sunday hours, wine and spirits stores in supermarkets, home delivery, world class wine
festivals, and more. The wine industry in California recognizes Pennsylvania as a wine-friendly state. The dictatorial approach of Rep. Mike Turzai - insisting on privatization and opposing modernization - is damaging to the Commonwealth and its finances. This is why continuing to modernize and making changes to improve sales and marketing, as well as operations, is the most prudent course for the Legislature. Keeping a valuable asset such as the state's Wine and Spirits stores, and working to improve their operations, is the most fiscally conservative public policy option that the Legislature could take. Saying "the best way to modernize is to privatize," as Turzai keeps saying, is out of touch and is not fiscally conservative. |
