Democrats in PA do not vote for it. <br /><br />And standing for privatization of state-controlled booze retail is hardly a "war on reality." You may not have noticed, but Washington State just went private this year. That's reality, and you can take a big old slug of it.

I challenge you to do the same:
...I sent my email. I challenge you to do the same:<br /><br />(To Governor Tom Corbett, Lt. Governor Jim Cawley, Sen. Robert M. Tomlinson, Representative Frank Farry) <br /><br />I'm very glad to see that the Legislature is still firmly in Republican control, because this is the time to finally, after more than 75 years, to privatize wine and liquor sales in the Commonwealth. Last session's opportunity was lost on a flawed, gutted bill; please make it work this time. <br /><br />A recent Inquirer poll found that 55% of Pennsylvanians favored privatization (and only 28% opposed it). We need to see a good, fair proposal that doesn't favor one set of businesses over another, increases the number of licenses, and includes input from the beer retailers and wholesalers. People want beer and wine in grocery stores, and it doesn't cause huge problems in other states. <br /><br />What we do NOT want is the PLCB's "modernization" program. That's just more bad ideas from the folks who brought us the wine kiosks. Privatization IS modernization, the modernization we've needed since 1935. <br /><br />Now is the time. There are organized forces against it, but they are small groups; the citizens want this. The Governor has stated that privatization is a top priority; let's work together and give it to the people. <br /><br />Sincerely, <br /><br />Lew BrysonLew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.com
