Personal commentary Comments re article 66872 Andrew Cowan Jobs more important issue than WetDry vote By Mary Ann Brown Personal Commentary Yes that same excuse was used in Campbellsville! Vote the city limits wet, serve the liquor and the industries will come. Well look how many years we have had liquor in restaurants but how many new industries have we had? We still have the majority of our workforce working in Lebanon, E-Town, Louisville, Danville, now I guess it depends on who/whom you ask did the liquor help promote industry or just keep a few more dollars in Campbellsville at the restaurants? --Mary Ann Brown 2014-04-24 05:46:51 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
