Poll: Support for Private Liquor Stores, Marcellus Drilling
The latest Quinnipiac poll shows strong support for liquor store privatization, Marcellus Shale drilling (as well as natural gas tax); and for the first time asks Pennsylvanians if they support privatizing state parks.
While privatizing state parks scored low in popularity, it reveals a shift towards the policy as a viable option for the state. Opposing groups have launched a campaign against leasing state park operations and services but, the evidence shows public-private partnerships in public parks save taxpayers money, provide high-quality services to park visitors, and protect open spaces.
