Killion goes to bat for vape shops

Who knew Sen. Tom Killion was such a party animal!

Long a supporter of privatizing the sale of alcohol in Pennsylvania, the newly minted 9th District senator was one of the first to raise a glass when the Legislature passed, and Gov. Tom Wolf signed, Act 39, which takes some big steps toward bringing the Keystone Srate out of the Dark Ages of alcohol control.

The Republican visited a winery out in Glen Mills to celebrate something that had long been sought, the ability for state residents to order directly from the source when it comes to their wine choices, thus averting the state Liquor Control Board altogether.

Then he went to bat for local beer distributors, who were crying foul when supermarket were allowed to add wine sale to their beer offerings. Killion's bill will do the same for beer distributors.

Now he's trying to cut through the haze to help state vape shops.

This has to do with new taxes that were enacted last summer, and which are hitting vape shops particularly hard.

This was a new tax, one the businesses did not face before, and many are having trouble coming up with the revenue, in part because of the way the tax is structured.

Killion is offering legislation to extend the window in which these small businesses have to pay the tax. You can read all the details here.

Give this guy some time. I just know he's going to find a way to get Pa. out of the booze business once and for all.
