Minnesota Senators are returning to a familiar topic: whether to permit Sunday liquor store sales. The Senate Commerce Committee will discuss the measure, but doesn't plan to take a vote.

Sunday liquor store sales come up every year at the Capitol, but have found little success. Minnesota is one of 12 states that still outlaw Sunday liquor sales. All of Minnesota's neighboring states allow it.
