Residents to vote on liquor laws

Fri, Jul 17 2009 — Source: Northwest Observer

At its July 14 meeting, the town council voted 3-2 to approve putting liquor-by-the-drink and ABC stores referenda on the ballot in November. The move gives residents the opportunity to approve or reject one or both of the measures. The meeting was held in the cafeteria of Stokesdale Elementary School instead of the town hall because a large crowd was expected. A crowd of concerned residents showed up to speak for and against the referenda.
