The fight over Sunday alcohol sales just took another turn:

During a committee meeting that featured a stunning confrontation between several lawmakers, the House Regulated Industries Committee used a bill allowing beer and wine sales in Gwinnett County’s new baseball stadium as the vehicle for allowing cities and counties that already allow the sales of beer, wine or liquor to ask voters in a referendum if they wish to allow Sunday sales in grocery and package stores.

Sen. Renee Unterman, R-Buford, sponsor of the original version of SB 454, fought the amendment and charged she had been “betrayed” by industry lobbyists.

“I guess I must be the stupidest person in the room. I did not know there would be an amendment,” she said.

“I’m really surprised you didn’t know there was an amendment coming,” Rep. Allen Freeman, R-Macon, told her. “I think everybody in the Capitol knew.”

It'll be interesting to see how the State Senate handles the issue with the promise of the veto. There is considerable support for Sunday sales. Many members of the General Assembly are starting to see that, but I don't know that it is enough to get it through this year.
