Sheffiled residents vote Tuesday

Or...vote anytime while the polls are open.
And...vote with what YOU feel is right.

But...jmbo is right: PLEASE vote!

What will the rest of the municipalities in Colbert County do when Sheffield starts selling alcohol on Sundays?

they'll have brunch in Sheffield!

I don't live in Sheffield but I'm curious if any of you would care to give your opinion as to which way you think it will go?

I think it will be a close race but I think the conservatives will win. Just an opinion!

I'm not against Sunday alcohol sales but you guys who think its somehow going to save Sheffield need to be advocating the legalization of whatever you are smoking.

Since it is on a special ballot, I suspect that the churches will be more apt to motovate their view than the people who think it would be good for the city.
If they really wanted it to pass, they should have put it on a real ballot.
Let's see if they can get over 800 people to actually vote.

I vote in District 5 in Sheffield. As I was leaving the polling place, a van with about 6 extremely old ladies was pulling in followed by a car with 4 more to go vote. I recognized one of the ladies as living in a nursing home...so I am assuming that's where they all were coming from. I would be honestly shocked (albeit pleasantly) if this referendum passes. Too bad for Sheffield (and that newly proposed resort community that is supposed to be developed).

Just to clarify...for the inevitable PC people that will freak out on me...I am not saying that old folks living in nursing homes do not have the right to vote; of course they do. It is merely my opinion that those folks are being bussed in to vote against the referendum and that it is highly UNlikely that they would be doing so for anything else.

Phoenix, I don't think the "Yes" voters of Sheffield are thinking this will save Sheffield, but it will help. It's not going to hurt the city. The hotels will be able to book conventions based on Sunday sales and not lose conventions to Florence. Every little bit helps. Nobody thinks it's the save all.

I voted "YES", but I'll be surprised if it passes.

So did I, and I'd like to give the credit to those intrusive members of Abundant Grace Church that drove thru my neighborhood yesterday. I probably would have voted yes anyway, but they removed all doubt. I was sorely offended by their presumptuousness.

I wish a warm welcome to Sheffield for coming into the 20th century. Keep up the good work and you'll make it into the 21st in maybe 20 or 30 years!!

Ok, monster. Now you've done it. Sit back and hang on.
