If they ever privatize the state store system it will be another chance for the people in power to steal from the Pennsylvainia people.
When we went to gambling(ed Rendell middle of the night bill against the wishes of 60% or residents) they gave the casino liscenses to their cronies. Some of whom had ties to organized crime . They were shown repeatedly that if they would auction off the liscenses to the highest bidders they would bring in 2-3 Billion dollars-but Nooo, Ed gave them to his buddies and cheated the people out of revenues.
I disagree simply because the number of licenses would be too large. Certainly there would be plenty of corruption, but the number of non-corrupt stores would also be large compared to the number of casinos.
