Richardson Questions Perdue's Stand On Sunday Sales

(3/14/08) House Speaker Glenn Richardson says he doesn't understand Gov. Sonny Perdue's stand against the Sunday liquor sales bill and says if it passes and Perdue vetoes it, the House will seek to override his veto.

He commented in an interview with the AJC's Ben Smith, which can be found here.

"I find it very critical that on the one hand, the governor says he'll approve Sunday sales at a ball game in Gwinnett County, but won't approve Sunday sales at a convenience store in Paulding County," Richardson was quoted as saying. "It would be one thing if you had a moral position that there should be no sales on Sunday, but once you say you're okay with Sunday sales at a Braves game or Sunday sales in limousine, which is what (Perdue) said, I don't know how you have a moral ground."
