Port St. Joe, Fla:

Port St. Joe approves the sale of alcohol on Sundays.  Tuesday night the city commission voted 3-2 in favor of the ordinance.

Alcohol is for sale in the rest of the county on Sunday afternoons.  Lodging and hospitality officials say the Sunday ban hurts 14 city businesses that depend on alcohol sales, costing the city valuable tax revenue.  Commissioners say it’s better to keep that revenue in the city.

The city will advertise the change for 10 days and begin sales on the Sunday, December 14th.  Sales will be allowed from 7a.m.-midnight.

Well it happened. I for one is glad to see it happen. In the past the voters said no but there was always a slim margin in the votes. I feel like the St. Joe Co. had something to do with this happening. It came up all of a sudden and it passed just as fast. Now us locals know that Windmark Beach was annexed into the city limits. But guess what? They built a restaurant in there that serves beer and booze. Now we all know that without alcohol being served the biz would suffer and we know that St.Joe Co. Does not want to loose money so put 2+2 together and figure this out for yourself. Just my comment
