Second Williamsburg alcohol petition started, has 176 signatures

One week after finding out that the alcohol petition he submitted to the Whitley County Clerk’s Office was six votes short of the number needed to place it on the ballot, Williamsburg Mayor Roddy Harrison is back at it with a second petition.

Harrison said that as of about 2:45 p.m. Monday, 176 people had already signed the new alcohol petition.

“I feel that we will have enough signatures very soon,” he said.

Harrison said he hopes to get the new petition submitted next Monday.
