Election Day is right around the corner. All residents along Highway 167 from Cave City to Hardy are preparing to vote for the up coming wet/dry Sharp County. This debate has enough signatures for placement on the November ballot by the Save Energy, Reap Taxes group. This topic has many residents on the tip of their toes concern will it be legal to buy alcohol.
Lacey Mitchell, states, "Members of SERT say they believe that allowing alcohol sales will benefit the economy and lower pollution caused by gasoline use since being able to buy locally would reduce the number of people who drive 20 to 30 minutes into other counties to make their purchases." Throughout Highway 167 from Cave City to Hardy will benifit so many alcohol consumers with their purchases. Less money to spend on gas to buy the need. All this money being spent will benifit the county and the money will help in any need their is going on.
Officers Grabby, disagree with the nonsense and "believes more access to alcohol means a greater chance for it getting into the wrong hands, those under 21." I definetinly agree, its a bad idea, but no matter what underagers find a way to get their hands on alcohol so it would be little differance. Alcohol will bring a lot of stress and distress for all residents.
Noah Sisk, said "People who are going to drink are going to drink, whether a county is wet or dry won't change that." If Sharp County doesn't become a wet county it's not going to stop residents from buying. It'll just be to bad because all the income will be going to the wet places. Voters really need to re-concedered on this topic it could be good for the county to bring in business and buyers near buy who don't have a wet county.
This debate will continue voted yes or no residents will see this as an issue and it all depends on YOU. Vote for whats best.
