Push for Privatized Booze on Hold
State lawmakers have halted a campaign for privatized alcohol, for now.
Due to lack of support in Harrisburg, the push to privatize liquor in PA has been put on hold.
According to a report from Philly.com, House majority leader Mike Turzai conceded that there was not enough support in the house to approve a privatization push this summer, though he plans to continue his campaign in the fall.
Gov. Tom Corbett reportedly said that he still supported privatizing the state’s liquor and that he felt fall was a good time to try again.
