The chief
executive officer of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board has announced plans
to step down after six years in the position.
A
statement Saturday says Joe Conti will retire Feb. 2 "to pursue future
opportunities in higher education and the private sector."
Conti was
appointed to the position in December 2006. During his tenure, the statement
said, the agency reorganized, launched a major rebranding initiative, upgraded
business technology systems and instituted professional development
opportunities for staff to assist wine and spirit
consumers.
Conti is
to stay on temporarily to help with the transition.
Gov.
Corbett has recently been talking up a favorite idea, privatization of state
liquor stores - an effort that The Philadelphia Inquirer says could allow beer
and wine sales in convenience stores, groceries and other
outlets.
