Let
voters decide Sunday beer,wine sales
The idea of
allowing a restaurant here in Coweta County to serve beer and wine on
Sunday seems to me a very modest one. In principle, I am all for Tom
Parker and any other restaurant owner getting this opportunity. But
even if the county attorney is wrong and Parker's legal advice is right,
that only means the county commission has the authority to legislate
Sunday alcohol sales without a vote of the people. Whether or not the
commission ought to use that authority is another matter. This is the
Bible Belt, where a lot of people do feel strongly about selling booze
on Sunday.
