Good morning, gentlemen. 6 (Good morning response by all 7 testifiers). 8 MAJORITY CHAIRMAN ADOLPH: Nice to see 9 you. Chairman Brion, if you would like to 10 introduce the distinguished panel, and we'll get 11 right into questions. 12 MR. BRION: I would. To my immediate 13 left is Robert Marcus. Bob has been on the board, 14 I believe, since about 2006. Is that correct, 15 Robert? 16 MR. MARCUS: 2007. 17 MR. BRION: Seven. To his left is our 18 new member, Tim Holden. Tim, as you know, was a 19 Congressman. I want to thank the Governor and the 20 Senate for appointing Tim. As a former 21 Congressman, he was held in very high esteem, as 22 you know. He's been a valuable addition. He's 23 been at the building a lot, learning what I call 24 the ropes, Mr. Chairman, and he's jumping right 25 into it with regard to the operation. Key Reporters [email protected] 6 1 To my right is John Metzger. John was 2 appointed back in January by the board as our 3 acting executive director. John was a Supply Chain 4 Director prior to taking over the Executive 5 Director position. He's doing a great job for us, 6 and I want to introduce him. He'll be testifying 7 on some specific numbers if you have any questions. 8 MAJORITY CHAIRMAN ADOLPH: Would you 9 care to give a brief opening statement? 10 MR. BRION: I would. Thank you. 11 MAJORITY CHAIRMAN ADOLPH: Thank you. 12 MR. BRION: Chairman Adolph, Chairman 13 Markosek and the House Appropriations Committee, 14 all good morning. We were out in the hallway and 15 we wrote this up in 10 minutes, so thank you for 16 giving us some extra time to be ready for you. 17 Before we begin, I'll just go over where 18 we are with some of the background of the PLCB. We 19 have had a very good year. We come before you as 20 the representatives of a self-funding agency that 21 has transferred $80 million in profits and 432.3 22 million in state tax revenues to the General Fund 23 in the last fiscal year. We also provided $39 24 million to other state agencies, such as the state 25 police, and local entities for total financial Key Reporters [email protected] 7 1 contributions to the Commonwealth of approximately 2 $551 million during the last fiscal year. 3 The board and John and the rest of the 4 employees that are here today, they're here before 5 you on behalf of the agency, and we request no 6 appropriation from the General Fund in the fiscal 7 year 2014-2015. In fact, the fiscal year 2012- 8 2013 was a very strong financial year for the PLCB. 9 Not only what I said before, but through the 10 operation of 606 brick-and-mortar stores and an 11 Internet store, for a total of 607 stores, the 12 board generated nearly 2.2 billion in gross sales, 13 a 4.5 percent more than the previous fiscal year. 14 As a result of our strong sales growth 15 and operational expense control, we experienced a 16 24 percent increase in net income when compared to 17 the fiscal year 2011-2012. 18 In addition, we capitalized on the 19 operational change led by John, to my right, that 20 gave ownership of the warehouse inventory back to 21 the vendors, enabling the agency to repay a 22 110-million revolving operational loan to the state 23 treasury, in place since 1968. So that loan was 24 given to PLCB in 1968. The loan was paid off in 25 February of 2013, and we don't anticipate needing Key Reporters [email protected] 8 1 that loan in the future. 2 Obviously, the PLCB is unique because 3 it's not just a retailer but a regulator. The 4 agency oversees the regulation of more than 23,000 5 liquor licenses and permittees statewide, including 6 restaurants, clubs and beer distributors. Our 7 staff processes thousands of applications annually 8 with limited resources and works tirelessly 9 educating the public about the responsibility of 10 alcohol consumption, which we take very, very 11 seriously; responsible alcohol consumption. Our 12 employees remain committed to protecting the 13 health, welfare and safety of the community that we 14 serve. 15 In closing, PLCB's most valuable 16 resource has been and will continue to be the hard- 17 working, innovative employees, some of them in the 18 room today, who work for the agency. We, as the 19 board, understand our mission to serve the citizens 20 of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 21 I'll address any questions you have. 22 MAJORITY CHAIRMAN ADOLPH: Thank you, 23 Chairman. As is the custom of the Appropriation 24 budget hearings, Chairman Markosek and I, we invite 25 the committee chairs of the standing committees. Key Reporters [email protected] 9 1 With us for this hearing is Chairman Taylor, the 2 Republican Chair of the Liquor Committee, as well 3 as the Democratic Chair, Representative Paul Costa. 4 Thank you, gentlemen, for being here. 5 Also, I'd like to acknowledge the 6 presence of Representative O'Neill and 7 Representative Gordon Denlinger, members of the 8 House Appropriations Committee that have also 9 joined us. 10 Chairman Brion, I was very interested in 11 hearing and, obviously, excited about the 12 possibility of receiving some additional money in 13 this year's budget. I heard that in the Senate 14 Appropriations hearings--not that I pay much 15 attention to what's going on on the other side of 16 the building, but this one got my attention--a 17 possible increase. The Governor has budgeted an 18 80-million-dollar transfer from the Liquor Control 19 Board, and you said possibly it could be as high as 20 a hundred million. 21 I guess my question is, is the press 22 reporting that correctly, and what should we budget 23 for? 24 MR. BRION: Mr. Chairman, the question 25 was, can we provide more than $80 million in this Key Reporters [email protected] 10 1 fiscal budget? I believe, when they were looking 2 at our books and whatnot, my answer was exactly 3 what you just suggested; that we think, obviously, 4 projecting out at this point in time, we could 5 project that we could provide another $20 million. 6 But that is based on some issues that we, 7 obviously, are trying to wrestle with right now. 8 Representative Taylor and I talk about it all the 9 time. And that is the restriction on Sunday sales 10 and, also, the issues with regard to pricing. 11 We are doing very well, as you can see 12 from my opening statement, from a fiscal stand- 13 point, and we are projecting out that additional 14 $20 million, that is correct.

  • The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’S Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century
    The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’s Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David W. Young Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor Saul Cornell David Steigerwald Copyright by David W. Young 2009 Abstract This dissertation examines how public history and historic preservation have changed during the twentieth century by examining the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1683, Germantown is one of America’s most historic neighborhoods, with resonant landmarks related to the nation’s political, military, industrial, and cultural history. Efforts to preserve the historic sites of the neighborhood have resulted in the presence of fourteen historic sites and house museums, including sites owned by the National Park Service, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the City of Philadelphia. Germantown is also a neighborhood where many of the ills that came to beset many American cities in the twentieth century are easy to spot. The 2000 census showed that one quarter of its citizens live at or below the poverty line. Germantown High School recently made national headlines when students there attacked a popular teacher, causing severe injuries. Many businesses and landmark buildings now stand shuttered in community that no longer can draw on the manufacturing or retail economy it once did. Germantown’s twentieth century has seen remarkably creative approaches to contemporary problems using historic preservation at their core.

    Fair Share Tax Plan District Fact Sheet REPRESENTATIVE PATRICK HARKINS HOUSE DISTRICT 1 The Problem Pennsylvania needs to fix our broken tax system so we have the resources to invest in education, infrastructure, protecting our environment, and human services. We won’t have the funds for common goods if we don’t ask everyone to pay their fair share. Pennsylvania has an upside-down tax system, where those at the bottom of the income scale pay disproportionately more. Those at the bottom pay 12%, those in the middle pay 10%, but those at the top only pay 4%. The Solution The Fair Share Tax Plan: • Raises the income tax on dividends, capital gains, business profits, estates, royalties, and gambling winnings. • Cuts the income tax on wages and interest. • Will generate $2 billion while only raising taxes on less than 20% of Pennsylvanians. 50% of the new revenues will come from the top 1%; 72% from the top 5%; 88% of Pennsylvanians will see their taxes go down or remain unchanged. WHY REP. PATRICK HARKINS SHOULD SUPPORT THE FAIR SHARE TAX PLAN: While still raising $2 billion for investments in Pennsylvania communities, the Fair Share Tax Plan would: REDUCE OR NOT INCREASE STATE INCOME TAXES FOR 87.3% of constituents in Rep. Patrick Harkins’s district CALL 717-787-7406 – TELL REP.

    Legislative Locator Legislative Locator A Monthly Publication of The Pennsylvania Municipal League June 2019 TAKE ACTION! Ask Your House Member to Cosponsor Reps. Greiner and Grove’s Pension Sustainability Plan Representatives Greiner (R-Lancaster) and Seth Grove (R-York) has put forth cosponsorship memo HCO2187. Their bill is slated to make changes to municipal pensions based on Auditor General DePasquale’s 2015 Municipal Pension Task Force Report to Governor Wolf. Provisions of their bill for new hires include – capping overtime at 10% of salary; basing final average salary on the last 60 months of service; and increasing retirement age to 55 years and 25 years of service for uniformed employees. Other provisions include – reducing the assumed rate of return on pension investments over 10 years to a more attainable rate; requiring the use of GASB accounting standards; prohibiting the use of pension state aid for plan administration; requiring disclosure of pension costs; prohibiting Deferred Retirement Option Plans (DROPs); and prohibiting plan changes that would result in plan funding dipping below 80%. This proposal does not change the type of pension available to uniformed employees or the benefits currently provided under Act 600 or the Third Class City Code. This proposal should be supported in a bipartisan manner as the provisions are coming directly from the Auditor General. Please call your House Member and request that he or she signs on to this important proposal. Thank you for Answering our Action Alert on House Bill 1400 Local officials were a huge force in slowing down the consideration of HB 1400 by the House Consumer Affairs Committee this month.
