Barbourville voters reject alcohol sales
February 08, 2012 7:52 AM


Voters in one eastern Kentucky city have rejected the proposed sale of alcohol.



Unofficial returns in Barbourville show a plan to allow alcohol sales in restaurants and package liquor stores failed by a margin of 107 votes with 1,075 ballots cast in Tuesday's election.

Knox County Clerk Mike Corey said about 45 percent of the registered voters cast ballots, which he described as a good turnout, according to WYMT-TV in Hazard .

Corbin and London have elections in coming weeks on whether to expand alcohol sales beyond restaurants. Bone-dry Williamsburg has a restaurants-only alcohol vote next month.

Nearly one-third of Kentucky's 120 counties are dry.
