Wet-Dry Vote In Harlan
KENTUCKY...
Residents in the city of Harlan will decide this November whether to allow alcohol sales at restaurants.
Harlan County Judge-Executive Joe Grieshop signed an executive order allowing the local option vote after supporters gathered 210 signatures on a petition. The Harlan Daily Enterprise reports that the order also allows residents in portions of Elcomb, Sunshine and Grays Knob to vote on the issue.
If the option is approved, restaurants could serve alcohol if they seat at least 100 people and derive at least 70 percent of their income from the sale of food.
