Court panel rules for drys in Russell Co., KY wet-dry election

The Court of Appeals ruled this morning, Friday, July 9, 2010, in favor of the drys in the wet-dry election in the Lake and Jamestown precincts of Russell County, according to information received from the office of Russell County Circuit Court Clerk Tony Kerr, today.

Alcoholic beverages will not be sold in Russell County as a result of the November 24, 2009, election which a three-judge Kentucky Court of Appeals Panel has invalidated.

The ruling rendered today upheld the ruling against the wet forces by Judge Julia H. Adams, a special judge in the case, who invalidated the elections held on November 24, 2009, because the KRS statute under which the election was held did not authorize local option elections by precinct, and also because the question put to the voters did not substantially comply with the specific language in the statute.



The case was heard before Judge Glenn E. Acree, Judge Christopher Shea Nickell, and Judge Janet Stumbo.

Robert Bertram, Jamestown, KY, was attorney for Greg Shaw, the appellant.

A.C. Donahue, Somerset, KY, was attorney for the winning drys, Tony Salyer, Thomas Skaggs, Lisha Popplewell, Larry Bennett, Victor Hill, and Daryl Robertson.
