S.R. Curry agrees with legal wet vs. illegal wet Agrees with letter from Ralph Waggener that Adair County is wet - illegally wet now. Why not have the rule of law in alcholic beverage sales. "Campbellsville...is moist, and . .. I can honestly say that the entire town has not become the city of depravity that was predicted by some," letter writer S.R. Curry says To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I agree with Mr. Ralph Waggener it does make more common sense to have legal sales of alcohol, along with the control and tax benefits, rather than the ever present illegal sales of alcohol with absolutely no control or tax benefit for this area. The way things stand today, with illegal sales< a mere child of twelve can pull up to the bootleggers on a bicycle and pick up a pint of liquor because there is no reason to request age verification. All that is required is money for liquor. There are no restrictions enforced by bootleggers. Legal sales most defiantly have many rules and regulations that are in place and are monitored. Legal sales would bring in tax dollars for this town in several more areas than just on the sale of alcohol itself. The steady flow of traffic going to Simms and Big Johns from Columbia, in order to make purchases that cant be legally obtained here are obvious reminders of our tax dollars lost. In Campbellsville their recent change to go moist now allows adults to make their own decisions if they want to order a glass of wine or ice tea with a meal. As an adult I am quite capable of making my own choice in that matter. I listened as the opponents on the moist/dry issue in Campbellsville debated each other before the election. Now that the town is moist and I have enjoyed the benefit of that election while eating out, I can honestly say that the entire town has not become the city of depravity that was predicted by some. I never expected that it would. But that goes back to scare tactics used by opponents of any wet/dry vote. How long has it been since a petition has been circulated in order to get the wet/dry choice on a local ballot? s/S.R. Curry This story was posted on 2010-07-13 10:30:06
