Beer Rallies
Last week the wind was taken out of the Sunday Sales (like what I did there??) when S.B. 10 was basically declared dead. Due to outside pressure, the bill will not go to the floor for a vote.
On Wednesday, a rally is planned at the Georgia Capitol building to attempt to push the bill for a vote. I have mixed emotions about this, but @AtlantaBeer made a good point to me. To use a football reference – it’s a 4th down situation. The bill is there, and being discussed now. Even though there might be other potential legislation than buying beer on Sunday, the bill is in the lawmakers hands at this moment. Good point. Act now before the bill gets forgotten. Georgia’s new governor Nathan Deal said he would sign the bill if brought to his desk. Is issue is just getting there. Read the press release here:
Atlanta, GA — Georgians for Sunday Sales, a grassroots, bipartisan organization, will hold a press conference and rally on Wednesday, February 23 at 12 pm on the Capitol Steps (Washington Street side) to urge passage of a bill to allow local communities to decide whether local retailers should sell alcohol on Sunday.
