Dear editor,
In the Aug. 4 primary, Allen County voters approved a measure to loosen the county’s liquor laws be put on the Nov. 3 ballot.
The measure eliminates the restriction on entertainment and dining establishments from having at least 30% of their sales come from food. If approved, such established can sell just alcohol.
In their support of the measure appearing on the ballot, Allen County commissioners said they viewed it as “economic development.”
Now that we have had a little time to recover from that shock, we still have time to ask why.
In my opinion, alcohol dulls the brain and alters the mind causing many troubles and problems.
These establishments make plenty of money without having to rely so much on the sales of alcohol.
Bonnie Johnson,
Iola, Kan.
