Read It And Drink: We Should Be Able To Buy Booze on $undays in CT To Reduce the Deficit!

It’s 2 p.m. and researchers from the legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee just told lawmakers that contrary to the smoke blown around the issue of Sunday alcohol sales, there’s a potential for creating $8 million in new revenue each year if the “Land of Steady Habits” would think outside its box, grow up and  finallyapprove Sunday sales.

 Sen John Kissel, R-Enfield, who chairs the committee (yes, Republicans are co-chairs this year because it rotates in a bipartisan manner) apparently just delved into his hidden Yippie past, although he claims to have forgotten the author of “Steal This Book,” Abbie Hoffman’s seminal revolutionary tract of the late 60’s. The Blogster can envision Kissel with shoulder-length hair, screaming “Off the Pig” on the streets of Chicago during the 1968 Democratic convention, but believes the senator was probably a grade schooler at the time. Anyway, Kissel asked those in the committee room and beyond in the land of CTN to “steal this report!”
