On Monday, May 16, the City Commission will consider whether to adopt a resolution calling for a referendum on November 8, 2011 on whether to allow package sales by retailers of malt beverages, wine and distilled spirits on Sunday.
During the 2011 session, the Georgia General Assembly passed Senate Bill 10 (SB10) that provides local governments with the opportunity to allow the retail sale of alcoholic beverages in original packages following approval by a majority of voters in a local enabling referendum.
If approved by the referendum, this will apply to retail outlets such as Kroger and Sherlock’s as well as to convenience stores. What do you think? Should there be a referendum on the matter next November?
We have posed this question on Open City Hall for comments up until 3 p.m. on Monday, May 16. The City Commission will vote at their meeting Monday night. Any comments posted on Open City Hall will be given to the City Commission and included as part of the minutes.
