Some East Texans are still getting used to beer and wine sales in parts of East Texas.

Reports say, Texans have more than 60 hours during the week to buy liquor under the current alcohol beverage code.

A possible change could add more hours to the sale of liquor.

Reports say, by changing the state's alcoholic beverage law, Texas could gain more than $7-million in general revenue funds.

The change?

Two bills may wipe out the state's "Blue Laws" limiting alcohol sales on Sundays.

Experts say, in the past years more than 10 states have repealed Sunday liquor bans.

The bills would even extend liquor sales by an hour both in the morning and the evening on Monday -Thursday.

Reports say, state officials received campaign donations from alcohol lobbing groups to push this bill.

This is an important message to Texans. When the Lord said "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil." He knew what He was speaking of. Our leaders don't care what sort of message they send to children or adults. Just so long as we make money, Sad, sad, sad.

Yea, too many judges & senators want a drink on sunday and have none left from friday.
