which is in place as a check of the
regulation of the milk industry in
Pennsylvania, charged with ensur
ing safe, fairly priced, fluid milk
for consumers and processors, and
also to ensure fair prices for
dairymen.
Wilkinson is a nominee by Gov.
Robert Casey, but is at odds with
the Casey administration’s control
of PMMB funds.
In discussing his first term on
the board, Wilkinson said, “I had
some priority issues when I came
on, and I’m sorry to say I haven’t
gotten them all accomplished yet I
think with the budget restraints as
most all of the department have
found that some of these things had
to be put aside.
“Through our fees and licensing
we raise about $1,300,000 a year
with the Beef Council on the
October Beef Month promotion
through the use of special napkins,
placemats and crew buttons.
Laneco Supermarkets, a retail
chain consisting of 24 stores, dis
played special Beef Month point
of-purchase materials.
County beef organizations have
actively placed foodservice and
retail materials at local restaurants
and grocery stores. The Beef
Council also sponsored two retail
meat merchandising seminars and
cosponsored, with Dairy Council,
Inc., a dietitian conference.

and that goes through the general
fund (as do state income tax
revenues) and some way it sort of
got detoured and didn’t get back to
us to utilize.
“It has been very upsetting to me
to think that we have spinning our
wheels for the last four or live
months worrying about budget,
when there are so many jobs out
there that need to be satisfied.”
Wilkinson was talking about the
fact that even though the PMMB
had received a general fund alloca
tion of $950,000 this year from tax
funds, the Casey administration’s
policy of releasing funds has been
on a limited basis.
According to Wilkinson, the
agency is short a number of audi
tors and expects to lose several
mote through early retirement

state's beef industry.
The month of activities will cul
minate with Beef Day at Penn
State, on October 26 for the Penn
State versus West Virginia foot
ball game. A special beef pressbox
luncheon is planned, and the Beef
Council will sponsor a tailgate
appreciation dinner for various
faculty representatives at Penn
State.
The October Beef Month prom
otion is just part of a coordinated
marketing program funded by the
$1 per head beef checkoff
program.

Even though additional auditors
arc needed in order for the agency
to carry out its mission in an effec
tive manner, the Casey administra
tion has neither freed funds to the
agency or allowed the agency to
hire replacements for existing pos
itions, much less additional ones.
The Casey administration, faced
with a huge budget deficit over the
past couple of years has not given
the agency the money it raised for
its own operation, but has kept the
funds to offset spending in other
areas.
Even more, when the dairy
industry supported increasing
licensing and fees to increase oper
ational revenue for the PMMB, the
Casey administration kept the
money.
After giving testimony, the agri
culture committee, most of whom
know Wilkinson, readily approved
his reappointment and also asked
of his support for H.B. 872, legis
lation which would remove the
governor’s authority over any allo
cated tax funds set by the Legisla
ture to the PMMB.
Wilkinson said he supports the
measure, though he said he didn’t
know if it would matter as far as
being able to hire replacement
auditors for the PMMB, since Sec
retary of Budget Michael Her
shock, has been refusing to author
ize hiring of personel to the
PMMB.
The committee later approved
reporting H.B. 872 out of commit
tee for consideration.
