The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) on Wednesday morning chose to implement a price increase Aug. 28 on 422 products.

That decision was made during the regular meeting at PLCB headquarters in Harrisburg. The rationale is that the decision was made to cover operating costs.

David Wojnar, vice president for state government relations for the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS), spoke during the meeting and requested a delay in the price increase until after holiday season, but failed to persuade the board.

More on this move to come later today.
