Like a pyromaniac preaching fire prevention the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is at war with itself in a costly conflict of interest that sees the agency wasting tax dollars. On one end of the market, it recklessly spends millions of tax dollars advertising and promoting alcohol sales in a MONOPOLY. On the other end of the market, it spends millions more in advertising campaigns to educate the consumers on the dangers of alcohol.
Does this make any sense? Pennsylvanians don't think so, and a new controversial ad campaign using your tax dollars, which some critics say blames the victims for rape, has brought this painful conflict to light. CF Senior Policy Analyst Priya Abraham and Policy Analyst Liz Stelle discuss the damages.
I was born and raised in Pennsylvania. When I was 15, I could easily walk into just about any State Store and buy anything I wanted. I wasn't even carded. Reason: They're called "boobs" I stayed away from the female clerks and went straight to the men. If they had a bulge in their pants, I was safe and knew I wouldn't get carded. Now that I'm older, I can very clearly see my own foolishness. I was lucky that I wasn't ever raped. That ad campaign, while strange, hit the nail on the head.
