Former congressman Tim Holden was sworn in Monday at the Schuylkill County Courthouse to lead the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board for a full term, over the next four years, as the head of the agency.
According to the Republican Herald, Holden will be leading an agency that has an altered mission after the General Assembly passed, and Gov. Tom Wolf signed, Act 39, which changed the state Liquor Code and gives the PLCB new duties as the steward of the state’s liquor industry.
The changes to the state’s liquor laws resulting from Act 39, he said, include more Sunday hours, lower prices due to increased purchasing power and more stores.
