Alcohol measures are city's chief priority
Placeholder Image
TO THE EDITOR:Once more, the current city board has voted to make the availability of alcohol a priority. This would exclude Aldermen Jimmy Bonner and Mike Neal who voted no on the latest measure.The other five members of the board voted in favor of allowing the sale and consumption of alcohol in certain areas of city property, if a person obtains a permit from a designated city employee.Every city board is often remembered for things they have done to improve our city. This city board will be remembered as one that has made alcohol its main focus.A few months ago when another alcohol measure was being discussed in which it was sought to do away with the distance requirement from schools and churches, the people were told it had nothing to do with the Park Theater.Most people thought this untrue.
