Here’s a Georgia Legislature vote we all over looked until Decaturish pointed it out this afternoon:
House Bill 85 allows local municipalities to lift the “no off-premise consumption alcohol sales within 200 yards of a school” restriction in situations where they deem it appropriate. It was approved yesterday and just needs Gov. Nathan Deal’s signature.
As many of you know, this is an important in relation to the City of Decatur’s effort to get a grocery store into the Callaway development, which sits within the aforementioned 200 yards of Decatur High School.
But Decaturish reports that two of our state reps (Oliver and Parent) voted against it. Since neither seems particularly anti-Decatur, it leaves me wondering if there’s something onerous in the details. Any of y’all statehouse junkies know?
