Will Connecticut Allow the Sale of Alcohol on Sundays?
Posted By Administrator on December 19, 2009
On Thursday, a Connecticut legislative committee reopened the issue of whether or not to allow the sale of alcohol in package stores and supermarkets on Sundays. The decision would be based upon supposed tax revenue the State believes it would collect — some $7.5 to $8 million is the projection. However, the Connecticut Package Stores Association has been against the move, claiming that the extra day of sales would not generate extra revenue. Instead, it would merely spread sales over seven days instead of six.
At present, Connecticut is the state in New England that bans liquor sales on Sundays. It is joined by 13 other states.
