Liquor sales in Hayesville

For the past couple of months there has been a lot of activity in Hayesville. There are petition going around to have liquor sales in Hayesville. They need approximately 2900 people to sign the petition in order to have this issue put on the ballot to vote. There has been much controversy over this issue. The "Church group" thinks that liquor is bad and should not be allowed in the county. The other side feels that Clay County needs these additional dollars coming to the county instead of going to Towns County and Cherokee County. The petition now has approximately 2500 signed and confirmed signatures. The deadline for  having the 2900 signatures is June 1 if they do not have all the signatures they will have to start over again.

This has been a very interesting event to watch. I personally hope it passes. Clay County needs the additional income as many counties do in this difficult times.
