LaFayette to Vote on Allowing Liquor By the Drink in Restaurants

There is nothing more that a small town needs than more drunks and more drunk drivers. If you Vote yes, you vote yes to more car accidents, crime, and deaths. Good Luck.

Most people do drive out of town to go eat at restaurants in Fort o NOT because they sell alcohol but because all we have here in Lafayette is fast food. All the big chains are out of town. Mcdonalds, Mexican, and Chinese food gets old. I do not think liquor by the drink will change anything economy wise. Why would it? These Mexican restaurants saying they get costumers walk out, well they are ALWAYS busy I dont see their doors closing anytime soon because they have good food. Its also a religious issue. Drinking does alter judgment and can become habit forming. I vote no!

When the people who are against alcohol go to Fort Oglethorpe or Chattanooga for a meal and the resturant serves alcohol they have a choice. If you eat in LaFayette you don't have that choice. Anyone that thinks LaFayette is a prosperious town should take a look at how many empty stores there are. We need to wake up and do something that will stimulate the economy. Liquor by the drink could be the answer. Too many tax dollars are going down the road.

LaFayette needs to allow this to pass so it will help this town. The arguments made against it here are not valid at all. Jessica Gunther needs her head examined.

It is a republican issue vote no. We need safety first drunk drivers kill little children in car wrecks. Drinking can cause people to become to relaxed. And nearly ever place that serve alcohol are always dirty and present an unhealthy image for our young grade school students in the area. We don't need alcohol being sold near churches, schools or places that are frequented by people who believe that alcohol is socially unacceptable.

And if you are a republican voting no is very acceptable today.

Lets vote no to liquer by the drink and let the city of lafayette dwindle to nothing. let Shaw, Roper, and Bluebird leave as well. 100% unemployment. Thats what we want here, no job creation.

There are enough people drinking and driving. If they want to drink they need to go home and stay at home. People are being killed everyday, because people don't care if they drink and drive. Why should people be killed when someone else doesn't care.

Why doesn't News 12 look into the resturant report cards in LaFayette?
Check into them for the past couple of months.
And they want to serve alcohol?
Seems like they cannot keep their establishments clean now!

As someone who lives in LaFayette it saddens me to see tax money leave our town and go to neighboring towns that serve liquor by the drink. Add to that the business that is lost as well as business that won't come to town because of the "dry" county.

LaFayette needs revenue for growth and improvement. Let's not let this opportunity pass us by.
