A voter referendum to make alcoholic beverage sales legal in all of Madison County appears to be heading to the May Primary ballot. Workers in the Madison County Clerk’s office completed the verification process for some 12,000 petition signatures. Clerk Kenny Barger says 7620 signatures were verified, only 30 more than what’s needed to put the question before voters.
“That’s what took us so long. There were so many duplicates that we had to verify on it. Everybody was only counted once,” said Barger.
