With the @BuffaloBills playing across the pond on Sunday morning, I know fans will be gathering for the big game & may fancy a pint.

I'm directing the State Liquor Authority to extend the deadline for special permits, so sports bars & restaurants can serve as early as 8am. ❤️💙
That means sports bars and restaurants can open early and begin to serve alcohol as early as 8 a.m. for Sunday's 9:30 a.m. kickoff.
