the surly bill has been signed

I guess I just think there are much better things to address in this state than beer on Sunday.

there are only 14 states that ban beer on sundays. It serves no purpose what so ever.

For now I'll just go to the bar to get my Sunday drink on. :draught2:

Either that or I take a couple T-bones over to Dad's place in WI and have him grill. The argument is retarded...making it not illegal to be open on a Sunday does not require every liquor store in the state to be open that day.

They can take any day off that they want--it's their business. What they're really saying is that if some other store was open on Sunday then they wouldn't dare risk their customers getting in the habit of going somewhere else. That logic in the back of their minds undermines their entire argument...there is a demand for it.

Tax revenue/state budgets are a huge concern right now, here's a way to increase tax revenue without actually increasing taxes.

Just because it would be legal doesn't mean they HAVE to be open. If a family ran business needs Sunday off, go ahead. But I feel the government shouldn't tell stores that they can not sell a legal product since it's a certain day, and assume the people wont want a beer because it's sunday.

I just remembered that scheides had banned political threads. I guess this is a FAIL.

Funny thing is that's what the bill has written into it... You don't HAVE to be open on Sunday but if you'd like go for it...

And this whole non-sense about losing customers... c'mon. If i have to drive 5 miles to get beer because my usual store isn't open on Sundays, its not like i'm gonna skip them on every other day of the week especially when they're only 6 blocks away.

Everyone is always complaining about the government telling people what to do and small business owners do it more than a lot of people i know, but they're totally ok with good ole' guberment doing it on this one... hypocritical.

P.S. - TO: House and Senate of Minnesota

Would you like to save some money along with all the new found taxes from selling liquor on Sundays? Please pass a bill now that gets rid of front license plates. Cops telling me its a safety issue is getting real old and everyone knows its a cooked up bullshit lie anyway...

Thanks,
Minnesota Evo owners.

P.P.S - Good job on the "Surly Bill"
