thumb_longview-cityof LONGVIEW — The Longview City Council has voted to place a local alcohol option on the May 11 ballot. The move was required by state law due to the number of verified signatures collected on the petitions. The proposition would allow beer and wine sales for off premise consumption. According to KETK, the Longview News-Journal, and city spokesman Shawn Hara, City Secretary Shelly Ballinger had earlier verified the minimum 5,375 signatures of registered Longview voters on the petition to call the election. If the proposition passes in May, grocery and convenience stores in the historically dry areas of west and north Longview would be able to sell beer and wine, but not hard liquor.
