With the auto industry in the tank, you’d think this kind of law would be repealed.You can purchase anything else on Sunday in IL.They even changed the liquor sales start time from noon to 11am so we wouldn’t rush home from liquor stores to catch the start of football games. No other industry loses one of its most productive days to outmoded blue laws like this. And with the state crying for tax revenue, you’d think another day of sales tax would look pretty sweet. I don’t work for any auto dealer or in any part of the industry, but I know stupid when I see it.
