Dear editor,
Many people have worked and spent much money, time and labor making great improvements in Humboldt. So why start tearing it down by adding more opportunities for drinkers to guzzle down the alcohol? It’s a sad situation when a business has to depend on alcohol to survive.
There used to be a beer joint in a building on the square. What did it benefit Humboldt?
Humboldt is doing much better without it.
Drinking has never made anyone’s life better. Just the opposite is true. Money wasted on alcohol would be better spent paying your bills and taking care of your children.
I had hoped the county commissioners would have used their common sense and nipped this ridiculous idea in the bud.

(Editor’s note: The commissioners agreed Tuesday to send a proposal loosening the county’s liquor-by-the-drink laws to county voters in November.)
