Very rarely (okay, we’re being kind) does something this absurd come down the pike. You read the headline correctly. Gallatin Co has repealed a two-year-old law allowing liquor sales on Sunday.

We, like Tricia Houston, are blown away that people’s religious preferences are not just inhibiting progress in Kentucky but are pushing us back in time by a minimum of six decades.
Next week we’ll be discussing the merits of allowing women to show their faces in public.
Welcome to the stone age. Or Kabul. Or anywhere else where community leaders have stopped taking their meds.

Hard to believe, isn’t it. So on this weeks Gallatin County News, big story on the temporary injunction that we sought and received last Friday (Aug. 31), which allows businesses to continue to sell until Oct. 29th, when we go back to court to try to get this overturned entirely.
