Point of View

If you were on the Tonganoxie City Council, how would you have handled the liquor ordinance issue?

I would probably vote to keep the ordinance, even though it conflicts with the former attorney general’s opinion. The mayor has a good point that our local economy can’t afford to allow other liquor stores to be receiving business on Sundays that our liquor stores could be receiving.
