LaFayette, Ga., restaurant owners should be able to start applying for pouring permits this week after council members hammer out the details of a new ordinance allowing beer and wine sales.
“As soon as I get my license, I’m going to start. I’m ready,” said Miguel Santiago, owner of Yan Yesica and Yaniria Mexican Restaurant.
The City Council voted June 14 to allow the sale of beer and wine at restaurants, which Mayor Neal Florence said was unavoidable.
“It’s probably a process that’s inevitable if you want to give businesses the opportunity for more growth,” the mayor said.
Opponents of the ordinance say they aren’t angry, but they disagree with the decision.
