| Wet-Dry Vote in Lancaster |

Lancaster has a population of roughly 4,000, of that number there are 2,434 registered voters. Today those people will decide whether to allow the sale of alcohol. Action News 36 spoke with several people who welcome the idea of the sale of alcohol in businesses within the city limits. Many say allowing the city to be wet will bring in new business, help restaurants and stores already trying to deal with the struggling economy and they say most importantly jobs. On the other side of the spectrum, we also spoke with just as many residents that believe the sale of alcohol will not benefit their city like many think it will. Tuesday on Action News 36 beginning at five, you'll hear from both sides including one Lancaster resident who says she is voting to pass the sale of alcohol. There are also 23 counties with limited alcohol sales for drink only sales in restaurants that seat 100 people and 70% of its sales come from food.

Since March, we have had to drive to Richmond and Lexington to buy beer and wine. I can't even fanthom the idea that we have to drive out of town, much less so far. It absolutely doesn't make any sense to me.
Who do I contact and what campaign can I do to change the law? You cannot legislate "morality" if that is the issue. Certainly it doesn't stop people from drinking. I like to have a glass of wine with dinner. How did that become illegal?
I LOVE Kentucky in every other way. Come on. It's 2008. Let people have their wine with dinner without having to drive 100 miles to stock up on it and give the revenue to a county they don't even live in.
