vote NO

Thought about that D, but at the end of the day Hartselle is still a wet city. Really a vote to keep the revenue from alcohol sales in Hartselle or to continue to give the tax dollars to Decatur. No secret that Hartselle needs to keep as much of the money in the city budget as possible. Vote yes to keep the money here! Vote no and we are still a wet city!

Vote No, We Don't Need Money That Bad, The Yes Voters Just Use That As An Excuse, Just Because They Want Their Alcohol

Vote No in Priceville Today, Too! Some things are more important than money!

Really Linda, Big A is 5 minutes from downtown Hartselle. "No" voters have their blinders on to the fact that Hartselle is already wet. Hartselle may end up paying higher taxes regardless but sales revenue from alcohol sales will help offset some costs. Hartselle likes to spend money and in order to spend money you have to have money coming in. Let's vote to build a wall around Hartselle and check everyone coming into the city for alcohol. This is only way to stay "dry"!

Sorry Linda, I want to be wet for more than just buying my beer in town, ever heard of prosperity and yes Hartselle needs the money that bad, remember losing the hospital and paying for a school that the board can't fund. You will be the first person commenting on here after 6 months of being wet when the beneits are showing by saying, "I knew we would be better of being wet", just like a lot of the others voting no.

Hate to tell Hartselle residents... but Hartselle is ALREADY WET. People just drive to the "north end of town" and buy it at the gas station at Flint creek.

It's not rocket science.... (but then again, most people from Hartselle don't even know what Rocket Science is).

Ask me M if I know what Rocket Science is, I am from Hartselle. Maybe where I am employed would answer this better, NASA. By the way, what is your IQ.

Rocket Science, eh? Well, it's not exactly Brain Surgery. ;)
