AMORY, Miss. -- A group backing a referendum on possible wine, beer and liquor sales plans to mail out thousands of letters asking residents to back the call for an election to decide the matter.
WTVA reports (http://bit.ly/1cpwZSl ) each of the mailouts from the group Let's Grow Amory contains a letter and petitions. The group wants voters to decide whether Amory should permit the sale of alcoholic beverages as an economic development issue.
An election would be possible only if the group receives signatures from 20 percent of registered voters in Amory.
The issue is expected to meet opposition in the longtime dry county.
But if the petition drive is successful, organizers hope to have the referendum on the August ballot.
