Election year politics ends Sunday sales hopes

In the final hours of the 2008 legislative session, election year politics snuffed out any hope of passing Sunday sales legislation. After a House committee unanimously passed a bill that would have allowed local communities to decide whether retailers should sell alcohol on Sunday, the legislation was bottled up because many members of the majority caucus did not want to vote on the issue during an election year. We hope that voters supporting our effort will raise this issue during the course of the many campaigns in the fall.

Are you going to push for Atlanta's request to legalize gambling also? Where will it stop legalized prostitution, marijuana, cocaine? Please do something more useful with your time, like supporting Youth Prgrams or Neighborhood Watch Programs.

Wow wayne, are you really that ignorant? or are you just another one of the vast bible thumping southerners who has no sense of cultural evolution, oh wait, you probably don't support the theory of evolution either do you? Being able to buy alcohol on Sunday does not have any major impacts on your life, or any lifestyle that you may believe in. It's an old law that should have been phased out already, it's one of many pieces of legislation that just hasn't been reviewed and updated for our current day and age. P.S. You're an idiot. End.
