Assemblyman Dinowitz Statement on Nay Vote for “Brunch Bill”

Albany, NY – “New York State’s Blue Laws are archaic, outdated, and frankly, biased against those communities that don't observe their Sabbath on Sundays. Though I believe we must update these laws to more equitably treat those who observe the Sabbath on any day of the week, I simply don’t feel it is our job as legislators to be in the business of encouraging activities such as drinking early on Sunday mornings, or on any other day for that matter.”
