DAYTON, Tenn. – Two petitions requesting beer sales on Sundays have been presented to the Rhea County Commission, but commissioners question whether they are valid.

During the commission’s most recent workshop, County Executive George Thacker said owners of two businesses in the Spring City area had submitted petitions asking the commission to consider permitting Sunday sales.

“They are not valid petitions,” Commissioner Jim Reed said. “I told the people they were not valid because they don’t have addresses.”
