Liquor Petition on Way

Category: Alcohol Sales · State: Tennessee · Source: Knoxville News Sentinel

A local anti-annexation group is launching an effort Monday to let voters decide whether to allow sales of liquor by the drink in Knox County outside the Knoxville and Farragut municipal limits. Knox County Election Commissioner Greg Mackay said he met with the group's leader and told him Tennessee law prohibits the sale of liquor by the drink outside the Knoxville or Farragut city limits. "State law says you can't do it in any County Commission district which has part of its boundaries in a municipality," Mackay said Friday afternoon. "Every (Knox) County Commission district has part of the city in it. How would you have a referendum on something you can't do? We talked it over with him a week or two ago."
