The push to have liquor stores in McMinnville has gained enough signatures to appear on the November ballot. “They got 238 signatures and they just needed 228 so they left themselves some wiggle room,” said director of elections Donna Smith of the petition drive to put package liquor on the city ballot Nov. 8. “This will not be official until Sept. 6 when the ballot is officially set, but barring something unforeseen, the voters in McMinnville will be voting on liquor this November.”The question of legal liquor has made it further than it did in 2012 and 2014 when proponents were unable to raise the number of signatures it would take to put the question on the ballot.
