Liquor by the drink
on F'ville ballot Nov. 7?
Voters in Fayetteville could be deciding this November whether
they want liquor by the drink available in the city.
A petition was submitted Friday
to City Hall by local resident Lane Brown asking for a referendum, Mayor
Kenneth Steele said at Monday night's City Council meeting. The document
has been forwarded to the election board for verification, he added.
If the signatures are verified
and the petition is found to be valid, a special election will take place
Nov. 7 at the Depot in Fayetteville, the same day as the General Election.
Since the law prohibits this
vote from being taken outside the city, Fayetteville residents whose general
voting precincts are outside the city will have to make two trips to vote
that day if they want to take part in both elections, Steele said.
