A bill passed the house Thursday night. It now goes on to the senate. They'll make some changes, send it back to the house. It's then on to the governor's desk, assuming things go Corbett's way.

I'm not a major purchaser of beer, wine and spirits, so I' m having trouble conjuring up excitement for either side.
Other states seem to be doing OK, and there doesn't seem to be much of a reason you can't buy beer at a supermarket.
It's a shame that a lot of state employees will lose their jobs.
There are winners and losers in every scenario.
