According area news sources, the Pennsylvania House Appropriation Committee heard yesterday that sales of wine and spirits in the state are projected to outdo last year’s fiscal earnings of $1.77 billion.

“At the halfway point of fiscal 2008-2009, which was December 31st, state store sales were $1.02 billion. If sales continue on that same path through June 30th they will total over $2 billion for the full year. That compares with the total for the entire fiscal year of 2007-2008 which was $1.77 billion,” reported Newsroom Solutions yesterday.
