These talking points were distributed by Sen. John Rafferty (R-Montgomery County) at a press conference held Tuesday, Feb. 16th, in Harrisburg. Initial response to the legislation is posted elsewhere on this website. The Rafferty bill comes after some 15 years of requests from beer distributors for legislative approval to be allowed to sell less than a case of beer at a time. The MBDA supports current law which prohibits sale of beer where groceries or gasoline is sold.
