Sunday Alcohol Sales Begin May 6
DeKalb County voters approved the measure Tuesday by a wide margin.
DeKalb residents voted in large numbers on Super Tuesday to allow liquor sales on Sundays in unincorporated areas of the county, including Tucker and Stone Mountain (the City of Stone Mountain voted to allow Sunday sales months ago). Some voters at local precincts said the issue was a primary reason to go to the voting booth. The vote will allow stores sell beer, wine and other alcoholic drinks seven days a week if they choose to do so. Mitt Romney got the most votes in the county among Republican candidates in Tuesday's presidential primary, though Newt Gingrich won the state. Sunday Sales (by percentage) Yes: 72.34 No. 27.66 Presidential primary (by percentage) Bachmann .44 Gingrich: 36.40 Huntsman: .62 G. Johnson: .19 Ron Paul: 10.42 …

Early Voting For Presidential Primary, Sunday Alcohol Sales
Local residents can now help decide the alcohol issue in unincorporated DeKalb.
Early voting started this week on the March 6 presidential primary, but some voters may not realize the ballot has another issue that Georgians care deeply about: Sunday alcohol sales. The alcohol vote would allow booze to be sold on Sundays in unincorporated DeKalb County, which includes Tucker, between 12:30 and 11:30 p.m. Every registered voter in DeKalb can vote on unincorporated Sunday sales, according to the DeKalb County Office of Elections. In the Republican presidential primary, voters will choose from nine candidates: Michelle Bachman, Newt Gingrich, John Huntsman, Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, Rick Perry, Buddy Roemer, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. Some of the candidates have dropped out of the race but did so too late to be removed …

Meeting Notes: Dog Park Closes Temporarily; Sunday Alcohol Sales Start Dec. 11
City of Stone Mountain moves to close dog park until further notice after hearing residents' complaints last month.
The Stone Mountain City Council on Tuesday unanimously voted to temporarily close the dog park at Poole and Third streets. The "closed" signs are due to go up today. The move comes after council members during last month's work session heard some city residents who live near the dog park share problems such as noise, parking, pet owners and their dogs walking on private property. People can start buying alcohol from retail establishments in the city starting this Sunday, Dec. 11, 12:30 p.m.-11:30 p.m. The council also voted to amend the times for sale for alcohol beverages. The council also voted to table the proposal for a cell phone tower at McCurdy Park. Mayor Patricia Wheeler said another location is being investigated that would not …

Ready for Sunday alcohol sales in the City of Stone Mountain? Not so fast.
There are a couple of important steps to go first.
Voters in the City of Stone Mountain approved Sunday alcohol sales in the Nov. 8 election, but don't plan just yet on buying liquor on Sunday from any of the three stores in the city that sell it. In fact, check back in December. Before you can legally buy alcohol on Sunday in the city, the municipality first has to amend its alcohol ordinance, explained city manager Barry Amos. The initial reading of the amended ordinance will be at the City Council work session next Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 6 p.m. Then he said there will be a second reading and vote determining when Sunday alcohol sales will start at the City Council's regular business meeting, Dec. 6, 7:30 p.m. On Nov. 8, voters in the city decided on Sunday alcohol sales, Educational …

Voters Talk SPLOST, Sunday Alcohol Sales
Polls close at 7 p.m.; check back with Patch for live blogs about election results.
Patricia E. Garrett lives in the City of Stone Mountain, where three council races -- two of them uncontested -- Sunday alcohol sales and Educational SPLOST were on the ballot. "Yes, alcohol sales should go through," Garrett said. "If people are going to drink, why should they stock up on Saturday?" She voted "no" to E-SPLOST. Venet Charles voted for the only item on the ballot in unincorporated DeKalb, E-SPLOST. "I think it's OK for us to be taxed," said Charles, who went to Crossroads Presbyterian Church to vote. "We need to get over that." But Lawrence Buchthal, who accompanied Garrett to the Champion Middle School gym where she voted, doesn't agree with extending E-SPLOST. He lives in unincorporated DeKalb. "I don't mind paying taxes…
