Gov. Dannel Malloy is proposing a plan to extend liquor store hours, cut prices on alcohol and increase the number of permits sellers can obtain.
Malloy made the announcement on Friday morning on the Chaz and AJ radio show, which airs on WPLR, 95.9 The Fox and 102.9 The Whale.
The according to the CT Mirror, Malloy would allow stores to stay open for an extra hour, increase the number of store permits one owner can hold from three to six and keep minimum bottle pricing, but allow for discounting.
Liquor sales would be allowed until 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 p.m. on Sundays, according to the Mirror. Liquor stores are currently open until 5 p.m. on Sunday.
Malloy cited the difference in prices between alcohol in Connecticut and neighboring Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
