Thornburgh plan would privatize Pennsylvania liquor stores
The Thornburgh plan would shift control of private liquor store sites and hours to local governments. A franchise could cost about $10,000 in cities and less in towns, with state store clerks unions opposing the switch. Thornburgh cites a 25 percent drop in store profits since 1970. approval rests with the General Assembly and a prior Liquor Control Board recommendation. State senators Greenleaf and Tilghman in Montgomery County are seen as possible sponsors.

Utilities blamed for gas crisis by oil dealers
The Better Home Heat Council charged utilities created a gas supply crisis by adding more customers than pipelines could handle during an unusually cold spell. PGW argued new customers barely affect supply. 12,000 of 650,000 were added in the last year. Oil dealers admit loss of customers to lower priced fuel oil.
