The Battle Continues: Georgia Alcohol Sales on Sundays

The battle continues in Georgia over the sale of alcohol on Sundays. Republican Sen. Seth Harp of Midland filed a bill saying local governments could call elections to let voters decide if they want the sale of beer, wine, and liquor on Sundays. Supporters of the bill believe that the new law would bring in millions of dollars in tax revenue. The measure has not been passed in the last two years of legislation. Georgia Governor Sunny Perdue opposes the sale of alcohol on Sunday.
