Pinchot Proposes State Run Liquor Stores In Special Session
Governor Pinchot urges Pennsylvania legislature to back a liquor control bill that would run state stores with profits funding unemployment relief, school emergency aid, and old age assistance. A $2 per proof gallon tax on pre repeal liquor would yield $25 million immediately. post repeal, $1 per gallon tax would bring $25 million annually. The plan seeks to eliminate private profit, restrict saloon access, and require wholesale sales to hotels and clubs with retail limits elsewhere. The state permit board would operate Pennsylvania Liquor Stores with on premise consumption banned.
