Malloy Backs Sunday Sales Of Alcohol

by Christine Stuart

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy will be proposing sweeping changes to Connecticut’s religious-based “blue laws” that regulate the sale of alcohol, according to several sources who have been briefed on the proposal.

Malloy is expected to announce on Saturday that he wants to allow package stores to sell alcohol on Sundays and will allow them to stay open until 10 p.m., instead of 9 p.m.

Under the proposal, restaurants and bars will be allowed to stay open until 2 a.m. every day of the week, if they choose. Currently, they are only able to stay open until 2 a.m. on the weekends. Click here to read more…..
