[DMV NEWS] LIQUOR LIKELY TO BE SOLD ON SUNDAYS TO BRING $$$ TO D.C. COIFERS

Apr 24, 2012 TONI S DMV 0

MARIJUANA semi legalization (for “medicinal” purposes), now alcohol…what is going on? Are they trying to lull citizens into distraction from the representation issue???

D.C. Council member Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) said on April 23, 2012 that he is likely to recommend allowing Sunday sales for holders of Class A (liquor store) licenses as part of the city budget.

The additional $710,000 in sales tax revenue that would be generated by dropping the restriction would go some way toward the $3.2 million Graham needs to find to kill Mayor Vincent C. Gray’s proposal to extend bar hours as late as 4 a.m.

Holders of Class B licenses — beer-and-wine-only outlets, like grocery stores — can already peddle their intoxicating wares on Sundays. And bars and restaurants that sell alcohol for on-premises consumption long have been able to sell away.

THOUGHTS?
