Larry Smith: Jamestown, KY Local Option election July 23, 2013

By Larry Smith, 92.7 FM, The WAVE

A special election has been scheduled for the City of Jamestown, KY for Tuesday, July 23, 2013.

The issue is alcohol.

In a clip now running on our station, Greg Shaw of "Progress Jamestown" says that the election will allow restaurants which seat at least 100, and derive at least 75% of their revenue from food, will be allowed to serve alcoholic beverages, if the election is successful.

The order to hold the special election was ordered by Russell County Judge Gary D. Robertson after Russell County Clerk Leisha Popplewell certified the enough signatures on the petition were validated to warrant the election.

The area which will vote includes Jamestown City voters to Lake Cumberland. - Larry Smith
