Dauphin Court Rules Out Two
The Dauphin Court rejected two legal challenges involving a $2 per gallon tax on liquor in distillery warehouses tied to the pre prohibition era. Attorney General Charles J. Margiott argued the Commonwealth and distillers formed a conspiratorial deal, shifting the tax into the purchase price paid to the liquor control board. Former Attorney General William A. Schnader defended the agreement, noting the warehouses held mostly green liquor and the tax was meant to be collected as liquor moved from the warehouses.
