Would someone please tell Tommy Powers that The Reverend Jeremiah Wright does not live in Pike County. Tell us Tommy a single convenience store owner who does not support the resolution. They are in business to make money. Maybe there should be a resolution on selling your fried tater pies.

Is Tommy running AGAIN?

Until obama makes a person BUY alcohol on Sunday, what is the big deal? The Seventh Day Adventist should be screaming, since we have sold it on Saturday forever.

Can anyone prove that Sunday alcohol sales has been detrimental to a community?
Does it bring in increased tax revenue?

Sure it would bring a increase in revenue. The convenience and grocery store pays a big price for a license and penalized 52 days per year by no sales. Now Citizens just go to other counties to buy. We need the revenue here to offset the bum who does not pay his property taxes but opts out with a "workout" plan.

No community leader there.

Kudos to Don Collins,Tamra Jarrett and Doug Mangham...let the voters decide! Checked with constituents and preacher, whatever....let the voters decide! I'm a teetotaler myself, this is America.... let the voters decide!

Absolutely!

I still love Carol Bass. She is a commissioner for "the people."

If she's "for the people" then she should agree to let "the people" decide.

Evidently, I missed something. What happened, Lynn?
