Governor may veto Sunday liquor sales bill in Michigan

By Heather Lockwood

Governor Granholm says she has not yet decided whether to sign or veto a measure that would allow the sale of beer, wine, and liquor on Sunday mornings and Christmas — she says "she's not opposed to lifting the restrictions but ... thinks many of the state's rules for selling alcohol are outdated," according to Michigan Radio.

"I support opening up these regulations and Sunday sales would be one of the things I support," Granholm said. "I think a lot of the concerns alcohol that existed in the prior century are a bit anachronistic. I think people should be left to their own judgment about when to purchase alcohol."

This whole law is sad. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like to drink on Sunday mornings as much as the next guy but I can't imagine feeling strongly enough to fight *for* the law or *against* it. I just buy whatever I need for the *weekend* on Friday afternoon. It's not that hard, people!
