Brandon Burns: Is county already receiving alcohol tax money

By Brandon Burns

Shannon, your response made me think of a question I had from an article I read earlier. Have we already been receiving the "increased" tax dollars for alcohol sales? The article says all 120 KY counties receive tax revenue for alcohol sales regardless of whether a town sold any alcohol at all. Essentially all alcohol tax goes into a state fund and it is divided up potentially evenly, across every county. Without a significant increase in tax revenue wouldn't that make the outcome of the vote have little to do with Adair County's progression from tax revenue gained standpoint? It's an interesting read.

How do Kentucky's dry counties benefit from Alcohol sales? is a WFPL news article (on the subject). - Brandon Burns
