Something to watch at the state level. The South Bend Tribune reported on a committee to revisit the "blue law" in Indiana. At this time a person cannot purchase alcohol on Sunday from a store. Some variables have been accepted over the years for eating establishments and taverns. Some interesting quotes were included with their report.
You can purchase alcoholic beverages on Sunday now by the drink at bars, taverns, restaurants and sporting events," said Grant Monahan, a spokesman for the Indiana Retail Council. "So it's not that people aren't consuming alcoholic beverages on Sunday. They very much are. We want the ability for our customers to have convenience and to be able to purchase alcoholic beverages for consumption at home."
But that idea isn't finding favor with some smaller retailers.
"Really, what this is about is big guy versus little guy," said Ray Cox, with the Indiana Association of Beverage Retailers.
In my humble opinion. The committee needs to leave this one and get to more important issues.
