City commission votes unanimously to consider ordinance in future meeting

Following in Leavenworth and Lenexa's footsteps, the Lawrence City Commission moved towards approving
an ordinance for Lawrence Sunday liquor sales by a 5-0 vote last night.
The ordinance will be placed on the commission's agenda for its approval at an undetermined date. The ordinance says that liquor stores could open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays and on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day.
