ATLANTA - Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle now says he's willing to let the state Senate act on a referendum that would allow voters to decide whether stores may sell alcohol on Sunday.
Cagle has been viewed as a stumbling block on the issue. He made his latest statement in just under 2,000 letters sent out in the last week to Georgians who had contacted him about legislation that would let voters decide on Sunday sales.
The Senate has stalled Sunday sales legislation during the past two sessions.
Cagle, of Gainesville, wrote that he still opposes Sunday sales because of his religious beliefs.
He is considered a possible Republican candidate for governor in 2010. Georgia, Connecticut and Indiana are the only states that don't allow the sale of any alcohol at stores on Sunday.
