Monday, the mayor is once again pushing to amend the city's liquor laws to open the tap on Sunday sales. The law also would extend the hours licensed establishments could sell liquor, wine or beer from midnight to 1:55 a.m.The Snellville City Council meets Monday at 7:30 pm at Snellville City Hall on Oak Road. You can attend the meeting and/or contact the Mayor of Snellville, Jerry Oberholtzer, and members of the Snellville City Council. Click this link for a page with contact information. If you don't let them know what you want, one way or another, a decision will be made by this council. I don't expect them to all disagree and for the issue to be tabled. A decision will be made. So if you care, contact - don't complain later that you didn't get what you wanted.
"It's about economic development, plain and simple," Oberholtzer said. "I'm afraid if we don't pass it, we're going to lose what restaurants we have left."
The mayor's efforts have failed three previous times this year amid divisiveness on the City Council. But with November's election, and a council more agreeable to Oberholtzer's ideas, the liquor law has a "99 percent" chance of passing, political observers note.
So much for the old Snellville of my childhood. :(
ReplyDeleteI think in Afghanistan, they let the religious leaders make the laws for everyone. Problem is, if it's not YOUR religion, you are screwed.
