Basically Cullman county, IMO, is wet anyway. We just don't get the revenue. I think the nail in the coffin of staying a dry county was allowing Terri Pines to openly sell alcohol. That is hypocritical.

You have to start a petition and I think you you have to have a percentage of names of however many citizens there are. You can only have a wet/dry vote if you have I think 7000 citizens and you have to have a police station, so that is why a lot of the cities can't even vote on it. Hanceville may be close after their census is final in 2010. But the City of Cullman could still vote.

As it is now, the largest city must go wet before any other city in the county can vote on it. Also, Hanceville doesn't have enough population to vote. I think it must be 6,000.

It would be so cool and funny though if Hanceville City was to be the first town in Cullman County to go wet. Been years since Hanceville was a wet town. A lot has changed since those times however. And I don't mean this in any bad way at all toward the City of Hanceville as for wishing it to be the first town to go wet in the County either.
I do agree with above poster. The county is already wet. If you don't believe it then look in the paper each day and see how many arrest are already being made for DUI and Public Intoxications. I believe that if the county was wet most people would go to store and buy it and go home to drink it rather than have a six pack drank by the time they get home from a bar out of town or from the beer store.

Several years ago Arab entended their city limits and yes app. 300 acres were taken in to the city limits of Arab but lying in Cullman County being the New Canaan area and the Strawberry area..I believe is the name of the communities.....so now the question is can they legally sell it in Cullman County because it is in the city limits of Arab..

Here's a little test for you but be careful because it involves a BIG WORD----MAP.
If you can read that big word, then go find one and try to see if you can decipher all those little lines that indicate city limits, then look how little Arab's city limits actually extends into Cullman County.
Thanks for playing. Try again next time.

Yeah. I give up. Cullman needs to go wet so that those privileged snobs in Cullman on the CRMC board can hold their "Panama City Spring Break Party Like It Is 2009" hospital fundraiser at the civic center, where they can all sit down to get roaring drunk. That way, more money can be given to the hospital instead of renting the Westin in Huntsville.

I feel that Cullman needs to go wet, so the county has more money to hire police officers to bust those drunks, to issue tickets, and protect the streets better. Then the state can pass the lottery, that will give the economy a boost. More money for the state to use for schools, hospitals, etc.
People who play the lottery go to other states and give those states their money, just like people who drink go to other counties to buy their alcohol. I feel that money could go for the state of Alabama.

MONTGOMERY-The Alabama House has given final approval to a bill that will allow towns with populations as small as 1,000 residents to vote to legalize the sale of alcoholic beverages.
The House voted 49-23 Tuesday for a revised version of the bill. The Senate voted 17-9 for the bill earlier Tuesday. The bill now goes to Gov. Bob Riley for his consideration.
State law currently allows towns with at least 7,000 people to vote to legalize liquor sales in dry counties. The bill by Democratic Rep. Jimmy Martin of Clanton will allow many smaller towns to vote wet if the voters choose.
To get a liquor referendum on the ballot, supporters will have to collect signatures equaling 30 percent of the voters in the last general election in the town.

Would be the better of the towns to go wet simply because they have I 65 to focus on. Hanceville is just 2 far off of the path for most people in Cullman County.

At least the man believes in giving the citizens the option to vote on the matter...you have a problem with that? Or, like most ignorant Southerner's; would you just prefer to force your backward value system upon the rest of us?
