All 20-plus employees of the Liquor Control Board's warehouse store in South Philadelphia - the state's largest - were dismissed Friday over what the LCB's chief executive called "widespread financial irregularities."
Joe Conti declined Monday to specify the nature of the allegations that followed an internal audit several months ago, pending further investigation.
Sources said workers at the low-slung warehouse at 23d Street and Washington Avenue in Point Breeze - at which many of the region's bars and restaurants buy wine and spirits - were suspected of selling products to some regular customers in a fashion that was off the books.
I only take note of this development to mention what I periodically must mention: It's crazy that the state is in the liquor business.
