Change to City Ordinance on Beer Sales

Discussion was held in the city council work session on the matter of Duncan Food Store being sold on the condition that the new owner would be allowed to apply for a beer permit. For this to happen the ordnance would have to be changed to allow the selling of beer closer to a city park than is presently allowed. Some members expressed concern about the appropriateness of making such a decision prior to an official request being made. Allen Barrett

Ain't there a church across the street. Ain't there something about not selling alhehol close to a church.

So why doesn't the new owner apply for a beer permit after he buys the store? Or is he paying extra for the current owners to get it for him in advance?

I heard that Andy Hoover the city attorney was also representing the people trying to get the distance changed. If that is true then ain't their something that smells when a lawyer represents both sides of the question?

I too am curious as to the role the city attorney played in this matter.
I know he and the Duncans are friends. I also understand that it was he who introduced the issue and the new owners have not even applied for a beer license. If it is true
that Mr Hoover represented both side in this issue he needs to resign and ethics charges need to be filed.

Separation of church and state has
not been the history of this county or country. Why should sales of alcohol be governed by the
church? Sunday is not the day of
worship for all religions. What is
it with the law that liquor stores
can`t sell mixes like soder pop etc.?
