Harlan Gets Wet Results
KENTUCKY...
It is a controversial issue that divided people in one eastern Kentucky town. By an unofficial vote of 383 to 261, voters in Harlan decided Tuesday the city will go WET. The so-called "moist" measure will allow alcohol by the drink in restaurants that seat more than 100 people and receive more than 75 percent of their revenue from the sale of food. Organizations such as the Harlan County Outdoor Recreational Board Authority supported the measure, saying it would be good for tourism, but the Harlan County Christian Alliance had opposed the measure.
