Sunday liquor sales bill stalls as courts decide
The Senate narrowly rejected Sunday sales last month and leaders balk at revisiting the issue. Rep. Reborn contends the measure would pass if brought to a vote, while supporters cite lost Missouri tax revenue and critics warn of drivers and fatalities. Wyandotte County counties already approved Sunday sales amid a court ruling challenging the Liquor Control Act. Atty. Gen. Kline appeals the decision as the bill remains Sub for SB.
