She said she saw the ugly side of fall-back Sunday at drinking establishments. “It is very good that bars close.

Lisa Murkowski Whether the Senate-passed bill will become law isn’t clear. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the publication “The Hill” that she likes the idea, but she didn’t commit to bringing the bill up for a vote in the House.
