– Once again State Representative Mike Turzai wants to give away to his friends one of Pennsylvania’s most valuable public assets that helps keep our communities safe, employs over 5,000 workers in family sustaining jobs, and generates over $500 million in revenues and profits, each year to the benefit of taxpayers and our communities.

Representative Turzai’s bill – House Bill 466 – will destroy good jobs, further increase Pennsylvania’s budget deficit this year and for years to come, and lead to an increase in the consumption of alcohol and alcohol related deaths and illnesses.

Pennsylvania’s Wine and Spirits Shoppes and the employees of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board have are serving our communities and the taxpayers very well. Legislation, House Bill 228 sponsored by State Rep. Gene DiGirolamo, to modernize Pennsylvania’s Wine and Spirits, builds upon the success of our current public system with more improvements in convenience, maintaining the public health and safety, while generating an additional $185 million per year in revenue and profits, which will benefit taxpayers and our communities.

ASK YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE TO SUPPORT MODERNIZATION NOT PRIVATIZATION OF PENNSYLVANIA’S WINE AND SPIRITS.
