Open container bill passed for now

So, House Democratic leaders just did an interesting thing. The House was debating a bill that would prohibit open alcoholic beverage containers in vehicles and then Democratic leaders chose to pass the bill temporarily.

That's never good news for any bill and could mean that the bill is dead, especially since the General Assembly will adjourn at 11:59 p.m. tomorrow.

The Senate had unanimously passed the very same open container bill last week.

I'm sorry that I don't have more information on the debate, but I've been working on a story about something different. If I hear anything else, I will blog.

For those looking to check out the language of the bill, it is Senate Bill 152.
