Clipped Fresh — By Christopher Spencer on November 22, 2009 at 9:54 PMThe Iconoclast: Poor Folks, Profits, Police, and Politicians.
FROM THE POST: Well, well, well. The local politicians and the retail liquor cartel are at it again. This time they were flushed out by applications to sell beer and small vineyard specialty wines atthree local Walmart stores. State Senator Sue Madison was, of course, right in the middle of it, and Fayetteville Police ChiefGreg Tabor expressed his usual rote opposition to any and all alcohol sales. Some preachers also wrote letters against the permits. Alderman Bobby Ferrell wrote a letter supporting the permits. Mayor Lioneld Jordan and theFayetteville Chamber of Commerce took no position.
