It's time to get Government out of the Liquor business once and for all
A new coalition, MODERNIZE PA has been created to advance the cause of liquor modernization in Pennsylvania. If you believe in modernizing the sale of liquor in Pennsylvania and bringing commonsense to an archaic and antiquated system you've come to the right place.
Support House Bill 11
House of Representatives Majority Leader Mike Turzai introduced Pennsylvania HB 11, the liquor privatization bill. The bill seeks to abolish the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board and privatize the sale of wine and spirits in PA, creating 750 licenses to be auctioned for an estimated two billion dollar profit for the state.

Fact: Liquor in PA has an 18% "Johnstown Flood tax", an emergency tax for flood victims, in 1936! HB 11 eliminates this tax.
