Rincon wont put Sunday sales on March ballot

Rincon will not include a referendum on Sunday alcohol sales on its March 6 presidential preference primary ballot. A surprise addition to the Rincon City Council inauguration meeting, the referendum would have asked the public to vote on retail sales of beer and wine on Sundays between 12:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. The item was added to the agenda an hour and a half before the meeting and some of the members who voted against adding the referendum to the March ballot said they felt the issue was too important to decide so quickly, without consulting constituents. “A spur of the moment decision — I had to follow my heart on that one,” said James Dasher, who was sworn in as a council member moments before the vote.
