This measure asked residents if they wanted to continue to prohibit the sale of alcohol in the village.[2] The measure was brought to the ballot through a successful petition drive by residents who thought it was time to allow alcohol sales in the village. Opponents though note that the sale of alcohol would lead to increased crime and bars in the village. Proponents note that alcohol is still consumed in the village, residents just have to go further to buy it. A previous measure in 2005 tried to allow alcohol sales but was defeated by one vote.[3]
