There may be a wet/dry vote on the 2010 Grayson County Election if two local residents have their way.

Jason Thomas and Allen Tabor together approached the Leitchfield City Council for guidance in making the city of Leitchfield damp.

“We are by not any means talking about putting a packaging store on every corner,” said Thomas,” But it would be nice to sit down at a restaurant and have a nice glass of wine with dinner.”

Mayor William H. Thomason spoke of a business he knows of in Elizabethtown that three years ago on the verge of going out of business and now is thriving because that town has gone moist.

The difference in a wet county and a moist or damp county is that in a moist county alcohol can be sold by the drink only and only under certain conditions. There must be food sold at that restaurant and that restaurant must seat a certain number of people,

In a wet county alcohol can be sold in convenient stores and supermarkets. Either way a petition must be passed or enough signatures must be collected before that vote will make to the ballot box and give the voters of the county a chance to be heard.

In other business:
