I see no way a person who has a personal relationship with God can vote for alcohol sales in his city or county! If you need more money, raise taxes, cut out new vehicles, turn your lights off, turn your A/C and heat down and slow your city/county vehicles down. You can do all of the city/county business by slowing your vehicles down 5 MPH below the posted speed limit.
I and others can outline many more cost saving measurements to you and we don”t work there. It”s what we see and hear that speaks loudly! The tax dollars you gain by alcohol sales are gong to be eaten up by paying for more alcohol related car wrecks, fights, jail problems, care of more prisoners from alcohol related problems, etc. Think about it!
