CAPITOL WIRE / AP: The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is toasting a banner year for liquor and wine sales.
The board reported Tuesday that sales for the year that ended Thursday set a record at nearly $2 billion. The agency also transferred a record $496 million to the state treasury to help finance other state services.
Board Chairman P.J. Stapleton says the numbers are a testament to the board’s efforts to run the state-store system more like a business.
