Lawmaker Seeks To End Alcohol Sales Ban

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Kentucky State Representative Arnold Simpson, a Covington Democrat, says he will discuss with colleagues in Frankfort a bill he has championed for four years to do away with the commonwealth's election day alcohol sales ban. Simpson says the state doesn't need to worry as much about losing votes to alcohol as it does losing tax revenue to the ban. Kentucky and South Carolina are the only two states that suspend alcohol sales on election days.
