Wet/Dry

Two Tri-State areas are now on their way to alcohol sales. The City of Hartford and Precinct 30 in Owensboro both held special elections on Tuesday.

When a county-wide vote was held in April, both of Hartford's precincts votes YES on going wet. The Ohio County vote fell through, but Hartford will get its own wet/dry vote in January.

The wet/dry issue isn't finished yet in Ohio County. When the countywide special election was held in April, both of Hartford's precincts voted in favor of the county going wet. Ultimately, the vote went the way of the county, despite Beaver Dam going wet, staying dry. Now, a new online petition has been started to get a special wet/dry election solely for the city of Hartford.

In February, the city of Beaver Dam voted in favor of alcohol sales. Tuesday night, all of Ohio County had their say and they voted against the county going wet.

In a first for the state of Kentucky, Ohio County has created an online petition to gain signatures to put a referendum on a county-wide ballot. The issue? The wet/dry vote.
