Legislation to allow the Sunday sales of alcohol in Georgia is making a comeback. 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.
