Gray wants longer hours for D.C. alcohol sales

Mayor Vincent Gray is turning to the District’s market for alcohol to help increase city revenue in his proposed 2013 budget.

His plan is threefold: Allow bars to serve for an additional hour each night; allow liquor stores to open at 7 a.m. instead of 9 a.m.; and allow for a full week of expanded serving times during the next two presidential inaugurations. He expects the initiatives to generate an additional $5.3 million in sales taxes.
