Bipartisan support for Sunday booze
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Who said bipartisanship is dead in politics?
The Georgia Young Republicans and Georgia Young Democrats are getting together Tuesday to voice their support for legislation that would allow Sunday sales of beer, wine and liquor at stores.
The legislation is scheduled for a public hearing in the Senate Regulated Industries Committee on Wednesday.
The two groups plan to hold a press conference Tuesday at the Capitol to announce that they are backing the bill.
Under the legislation, local communities would hold votes on Sunday sales. Similar bills have stalled in the Senate the past two years.
Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue, who would have to sign a bill if it passes, opposes Sunday sales.
