Signatures gathered for alcohol petition in Connecticut town
Active supporters of allowing the sale of alcoholic beverages in town ”” other than in restaurants ”” are poised to raise a toast and cheer. The citizens group Wilton for Wine, which advocates permitting package stores here, reports that it believes it has gathered more than enough signatures to place the question on the ballot at this fall’s town election. “We’ve been overwhelmed with how positive the response has been,” said Barbara Bangser, a member of the group, referring to the petition process that has been under way this summer.
