Impact analysis
The city could see extra sales-tax revenue and retailers could ring up more sales, but the size of that bump is uncertain.
Residents and businesses who support Sunday alcohol sales would benefit if a petition succeeds and the measure passes.
No groups are clearly harmed based on the source, though residents who prefer Sunday alcohol restrictions may object.
