>>Privatizing Pennsylvania Liquor Sales to Be Discussed in State Legislature
(Harrisburg, PA) -- Lawmakers are set to discuss legislation this coming week to privatize liquor sales in Pennsylvania through a constitutional amendment. Republican State Representative Natalie Mihalek of Allegheny introduced House Bill 2272 Friday to privatize state-run liquor stores through a constitutional amendment that cannot be vetoed. The General Assembly passed legislation in 2016 to privatize the sale of wine and spirits, but the legislation was vetoed by Governor Tom Wolf. Pennsylvania reportedly is one of only two states with a government monopoly on liquor sales.
