HB 456 is not a bill to determine whether or not liquor will be sold in Jefferson county. This is already being done. HB 456 is not a bill to determine whether or not liquor-by-the-drink will be sold on Sunday in Jefferson county. HB 456 is not a bill that has anything to do with whether it is right or wrong to drink. HB 456 IS A BILL TO DETERMINE WHO WILL MAKE THE DECISION! WHETHER OR NOT LIQUOR BY THE DRINK WILL BE SOLD ON SUNDAY IN JEFFERSON COUNTY.

THE PRESENT LAW STATES THAT AN ELECTION WOULD HAVE TO BE HELD AND THE CITIZENS WOULD HAVE TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF SUNDAY SALES. HB 456 gives authority to the governing bodies (the Fiscal Court and the Board of Aldermen) to make the decision to permit liquor-by-the-drink on Sunday, even if an election is never held. The Jefferson county Legislators voted in favor of letting the governing officials make the decision instead of the people. I believe the people should make the decision of whether or not liquor-by-the-drink should be sold on Sunday in Louisville and Jefferson county instead of the governing officials. "WHO DO YOU BELIEVE SHOULD MAKE THE DECISION? WRITE GOVERNOR FORD AND ENCOURAGE HIM TO VETO HB 456 AND LET YOU, THE CITIZENS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY DECIDE.

This must be done before March 25, 1974. Delbert L. Butts Executive Director The Temprartce League of Kentucky Paid for by Th Ttmperanc Ltagut of Ky Delbert I.
