The C'dale Chamber recently surveyed its members about the possibility of allowing grocery stores and gas stations to sell liquor and beer. 25% of the 344 surveys sent out via email were returned.
One of the questions was poorly worded, asking if you agree with the current restrictions on liquor sales in Carbondale. This could be taken as "No, I think they should be looser" or "No, I think they should be tighter." No wonder 80% of the responders said "No".
The other three question do give a better indication of how those who responded stand on the issue with 77% of respondents saying grocery stores and gas stations should be able to sell beer and wine and 71% saying no limits on the number of retail package liquor licenses available. The split is closer on whether grocery stores and gas stations should be able to sell hard liquor as well, with 54% saying yes and 46% saying no. I believe the results are being sent to the City Council though I'm don't think the Chamber has an official position on the proposal.
What about selling pot?
