Unlike voters in Barbourville who voted down alcohol sales last week, voters in the city of Corbin decided in a local option election Tuesday to allow package liquor sales by a vote of 887-789.
According to the Whitley County clerk, less than 33 percent of eligible voters cast ballots. We can’t help but wonder what a difference it would have made had if Christians who failed to vote yesterday had shown up at the polls.
Corbin can expect increased alcohol problems, including increased incidences of domestic violence, alcohol-related accidents and higher insurance rates in the future based on this decision.
Thanks go to all who stood up to be counted in voting and working against this alcohol industry initiative.
