US: Pennsylvania Considers Selling State Liquor Stores To Raise Cash
Mar 9, 2011
As governors of recession-hit states weigh options from outsourcing prison cooking to leasing toll roads to balance their budgets, Gov. Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania is targeting a Depression-era holdover: state-owned liquor stores.
Pennsylvania is one of two states to control both the distribution and sale of wine and spirits. Utah is the other, although several more still exert some control over retail and wholesale operations.
People have advocated ending the state's booze monopoly in the past--most recently last year--but the idea gained steam Tuesday when Corbett said during his budget address that "government should no more run the liquor stores than it should run the pharmacies and gas stations."
