Voters in the town of Dublin will not only voting to elect who will represent them on the town board, they will also be deciding whether to allow the sale of malt beverages and unfortified wine.
The town submitted a resolution to the Bladen County Board of Elections requesting the item be added to the November 7, 2017, ballot. Mayor Horace Wyatt said if the measure is approved, the town would receive some tax revenue from the measure, but it would be, “very little.”
The resolution reads:
Malt Beverage Election
- To permit the “on-premises” sale only of malt beverages. For or Against
- To permit the “off-premises” sale only of malt beverages. For or Against
Unfortified Wine Election
- To permit the “on-premises” sale only of unfortified wine. For or Against
- To permit the “off-premises” sale only of unfortified wine. For or Against
Mayor Wyatt said that Alan Bedsole appeared before the Dublin Town Board earlier this year and asked to have the issue added to the ballot. The board adopted the resolution during their March board meeting.
