Plan to privatize state liquor stores sparks pro and con debate
At a press conference Thornburgh outlined a privatization plan for Pennsylvania State Stores with a new Liquor Licensing and Control Board, local option controls, expanded warehouses, and safeguards against crime. Officials cite potential revenue gains, while critics warn of job losses for clerks and disruptions during the transition. The plan targets enactment within 30 to 60 days with sponsors Tilghman and Greenleaf.

William Penn contract talks resume after long stalemate
Negotiations continue between William Penn School Board and William Penn Education Association after a dispute over the fact finder’s financial recommendation. Spokesman Ray Theilacker says the board reneged on an offer and the union countered with 15 13 15 percent across three years plus adjustments. Board aide William Sweet accuses the union of trying to get cute as they seek overtime and salary compression terms. Sessions extended three hours, with no final agreement yet.
