“Sunday sales” lawmaker has a vehicle

Rep. Kathy Tallarita, D-Enfield, one of the principle proponents of a proposal to allow Sunday sales of beer, wine and liquor in retail establishments for off-premises consumption, double checked the potential for House Bill 6267, which the Finance Committee put on its “consent calendar” this morning. The bill is about wine gift baskets sold by package stores. Presumably, she could put an amendment allowing Sunday sales when – or if – the bill gets called in the House.
