Bottoms up

Speaking of acohol, Indiana is one of only three states -- along with Georgia and Connecticut -- to ban Sunday alcohol sales in stores. If the governor of Georgia sings a newly passed bill, it will be down to two:

The bill would allow local governments to decide whether to ask voters if they want to permit Sunday alcohol sales in grocery and conveniences stores from 12:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Sundays. Voters must approve the change and the Georgia Christian Coalition has pledged to fight the referendums on a local level.

And, yes, we're likely to be the last one standing.

An interesting aside is that one of the opponents was a little cynical about the "local control" aspect:

"Why don't we extend the sanctity of local control to every measure we consider in this House of Representatives?" Walker said. "It may very well be that we want to extend the sanctity of local control when we don't have the courage to make a decision."
