The Pa. Supreme Court just issued a devastating opinion against the Pennsylvania "Liquor Control" Board. No sovereign immunity. Time to give back the money you unlawfully took from businesses and citizens. We won't stop until every penny is returned.

Time for the PLCB to return the money they've unlawfully taken. @MFW_Jason
“Sovereign immunity was never intended to allow a state agency to harm its citizens and deprive them of a remedy,” said John G. Papianou.

.@RepTimBriggs Can you please detail how giving distributors the OPTION to deliver Special Order wine directly (removing the $1.73/blt PLCB handling fee) is harming small businesses, i.e. restaurants and wine distributors in PA? @CraigLaBan@InqBrubaker

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board has taken another loss in a long-running legal fight over the direct shipment to restaurants of wines that the state monopoly declines to carry in its stores.

The PLCB continues to thumb its nose at the Courts and General Assembly, illegally assessing millions of dollars in handling fees to licensees and consumers and not allowing direct delivery. What do we do with a government agency that has gone rogue? @CraigLaBan @GovernorTomWolf
Big win for wine lovers in PA today. The PLCB is not above the law and they cannot self-govern. It is finally time for the PLCB to do what they are instructed and implement a system for the direct delivery of Special Orders. @InqBrubaker@CraigLaBan https://t.co/DCl1qEyJvy
It is sad that @PAWineSpirits has been allowed to get away with this for so long. The PLCB has taken advantage of consumers, licensees, vendors, even their own employees, all in an attempt to hold onto a power they never should have had in the first place. https://t.co/rDjRo8bsjR
The #PLCB is trying strong-arm negotiations of an issue the Legislature SETTLED 2 years ago, a solution @PAWineSpirits has bluntly ignored. Now they're being sued, a gov't agency, to FORCE them to obey a law specifically written to make them do this.
The #PLCB Playbook: if your back's against the wall, give an inch. The pathetic petitioners will be grateful & go away.
Not today, Monopolists.
Commonwealth Court livestream hearing involving wine distributors, PLCB at 10:30 am today. https://t.co/HjcTEMKsJQ
The PLCB is so broken, it can't even follow its own arcane rules and allow distributors to ship directly to retailers and restaurants. A lawsuit by @MFW_Jason & @A6WineCo has challenged the agency. #FreeTheBottles! Story via @InqBrubaker
