Sunday sales is back
State Sen. Seth Harp (R) will reintroduce Sunday alcohol sales legislation:
Legislation to allow the Sunday sales of alcohol in Georgia is making a comeback.Georgia politicians simply don't have the balls to pass it. Sorry. I support it and I hope someone has the will to stand up to the religious right, but I'm not getting my hopes up.State Sen. Seth Harp said he will reintroduce the measure for the coming legislative session. And, with the state's economy slumping, he'll argue that it could bring in millions of dollars in additional tax revenue.
Sunday sales has failed to win legislative approval for the last two sessions.
Georgia is one of only three states that ban stores from selling any kind of alcohol on Sundays.
The bill would give local governments the option on whether to permit Sunday alcohol sales.
Opponents say they will fight the bill again this year arguing it would create more problems by increasing alcohol use.
