The very sight of much of Lynn Sprruill’s fan club dispels all thought of sex.
She slobbered on AJ Brown’s knob.
Not sure if he mentioned "rapes," but that was Roy Perkins Esquire. The main opposition to Sunday sales on the city council. Otherwise a good fella.
Not mere rapes... gang rapes.
Good fella but holding Starkville back with his ******** views. Also said he didn't want Sunday sales because he didn't want the people going to church on Sunday morning smelling the booze coming from bars and restaurants. Dumbest 17'n elected official ever
Its not that they are intentionally backwards thinking, it's that they are thinking of lining their pockets.
It's being built in good ole Canton, what could go wrong? Between corrupt Canton and Madison County officials, and a new "contractor" to run the distribution of the liquor, that will turn into a cluster **** with the taxpayers being the losers once again:
The beer distributors are also against wine in grocery stores because they don't want to lose shelf space to wine. If you go to grocery stores in other places, they'll usually have at least half an aisle dedicated to wine. That's a good bit of real estate that has to come out of other products, and beer will probably be the biggest loser there.
I may be wrong, but I think that ended up dying without a vote along with all the other alcohol related bills.
The only competition liquor stores have now is other liquor stores. You can't buy it online, you can't buy it in grocery stores, you can't buy it in convenience stores, you can't buy it in big box discount stores, etc etc etc.
A good friend of mine always referred to him as Duct Tape Roy, said he had his hand duct taped to the wall in opposition to any and all ideas.
They are most definitely still closed on Sundays. I have my go to store across the state line in Alabama when needed on Sundays, I10 Franklin Creek exit, take a left for a few miles.
I'd just like to be able to get wine shipped to my house as a start...
Unsure about the comment, but I was there during the no cold beer time. It's kind of funny to my how big of a problem that was for us back then. It seems that with just a little planning, we might could have bought beer far enough in advance to allow it to cool before we needed it...of course it would not solve the problem of us running out and cobbling together everyone's loose change to go buy more...
Agreed. He represents the boomer traditional post-prohibition Southern Christian crowd.
Liquor stores are some of the few actually locally owned thriving businesses left. I don't mind them having some protection, but as a consumer, I would like to at least see wine made available as a grocery item if for nothing more than the variety and selection that a Kroger or Publix can bring in. I would also like to be able to have wine shipped to me. I really wonder how much volume to the really small liquor stores do in wine anyway? I wouldn't think very much judging by the miniscule selection of wines they carry.
Don’t get me wrong i totally agree that it is past time to allow on line wine sales but the old argument for not being able to buy on line is that minors will be easier to purchase. And not able to buy wine at grocery stores is.beyond stupid. And the protection of liquor is also stupid. They are business just like every other business, either adapt or be left in the dust.
They screamed about it in Memphis as well and it never happened. They allowed liquor stores to sell food and also be opened on Sundays. They learned really quick many people would still prefer to buy their liquor from local liquor stores
You would think with the Republican Party more or less having complete and total control of all facets of state government, you would see free markets win out....
Honestly, having just moved from Alabama to Florida it's worth your time to drive to FL and stock up. My preferred whisky is just plain old Evan Williams black label. (I mix it with diet coke, why spend more?)
Absolutely! I'd like to know who has their hands in the till at the ABC store.
Yet another example of unnecessary waste by the government.
Same way all over the country and federal government.
Someone on the council definitely mentioned gang rapes going up.
Same here
We need unrestricted Publix in Mississippi. You can buy wine at Publix in Alabama. We are still under prohibition here.
liquor stores were deemed “essential” and allowed to stay open during that covid bs, while many and most other local and small businesses were deemed “non essential” and were forced to close. So if they were officially “essential”, seemed like they would or could be open on Sundays, and allowed in grocery stores.
Since when have republicans been for the free market?
