Sunday liquor sales remain illegal in Minnesota after another loss at the Legislature

The perennial effort to allow Minnesotans to buy liquor on Sundays failed again after a House debate Thursday featuring passionate speeches about protecting mom-and-pop businesses, public health and freedom.

“This is America. People are supposed to be able to shop on the day they want to shop,” said Rep. Tina Liebling, DFL-Rochester, part of a bipartisan coalition that has sought to legalize Sunday sales for years, only to see the measure defeated again this session on the House floor 70-56.
