Once again, the subject of legal alcohol sales has come up, and once again, the opponents say that we need to “Keep Blount County special.” Really? What is “special” about a county with poor roads, a school system that does not meet standards, is one of the top meth counties in the state, and has a judge begging for money to keep the juvenile court operational?
If you want to make Blount County “special,” then sign the wed/dry petition, and if it comes up on the ballot on Nov. 6, vote YES!
Only then will Blount County be truly special!
