Quakers, Bootleggers, State Stores

Quakers, Bootleggers, State Stores — Kevin Williamson’s explains how anti-free market Republican cronyists are trying to stop the ending of Pennsylvania’s government liquor monopoly.

Hey, did you know that the guy who got the contract for those laughable wine kiosks in grocery stores was Ed Rendell’s finance chairman?

Or that state store clerks are members of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 which is led by Wendell W. Young IV,  who gets  a $260,000 salary?  Do you really think he works a 40 hour week?  The union’s previous president was Wendell W. Young III. You’d almost think they were North Koreans or something.

Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax Bill Before Senate

Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax Bill Before Senate — The House voted this week in support of legislation to eliminate the inheritance tax on property transferred upon the death of a natural, adoptive or step-parent to or for the use of a child 21 years of age or younger.

House Bill 659 would eliminate the current 4.5 percent tax placed on a property transfer of that type. The bill unanimously passed the House last session and is one step in dealing with the levy commonly referred to as the “death tax.” Current law does not tax the transfer of property upon the death of a child 21 years of age or younger to or for the use of a natural, adoptive or step-parent, and this bill seeks to ensure children also would not be taxed in the event of a property transfer.

House Bill 659 goes to the Senate for consideration.
