State run job would be outsourced to a private company, any reason why a company needs to shut down for election day ? I mean it takes 5 min tops & can vote many days including weekends in advance, & the polls stay open late , they only work 8 hrs ...please someone explain this to me ....
I wish every

- Start date
Either the WV constitution or legislature. I don't think blaming the employees is the right place to start.
I dont blame the employees for taking advantage of it , i would & would drink all day in celebration of my paid day off ...the only good things open are bars . Just dont think schools or anything else needs to be closed on this day , could understand in the past when traveling was a hardship.
I have no problem having schools closed for election day. Nor do I have a problem with any organization closing for election day.
For many locales, unfortunately it takes longer than 5 minutes to vote. I spent over an hour this morning. My wife and son both spent over two hours to vote during Early Voting.
Why ? Still a paid day off , just dont get it , ive never received a day off to vote , but im against most holidays
Coop gave one reason. Another is a negotiated benefit between the teachers and local/state authority so teachers can have a better opportunity to vote. Now, anti-union people have issues with that reason but in many instances, it is a great help for the teachers.
I just find your beef as a "get off my lawn " argument and energy should be used on bigger issues.
We had on our ballot Sunday Brunch liquor sales which allows restaurants in my county to sell alcohol starting at 11:30. I have no clue if it will pass or not. But there are a ton of people on both sides with strong opinions.
We passed the Brunch Bill back in 2016, but I was mostly referring to me going down to CVS and picking up a bottle.
Live here, you can’t buy beer in a gas station. WTF is up that?!!!
Did they change the law in WV to zero alcohol on Sunday before noon?
Not a get off my lawn ....i get the negotiations, think i would barter for something better & i would not make it a voting platform, i think most holidays should fall on a weekend, including Christmas & well most
Retail sale of beer and wine is prohibited on Sundays between 2:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and Saturdays. Retail sale of liquor is prohibited on Sundays, Christmas Day, and between 12:00 midnight and 8:00 a.m on all other days.
All restrictions on alcohol sucks ....& prostitution should be legalized & holidays only fall on Saturday & Congress has to use the va for medical for them & there families...im running for something .....after a couple more guiness & some black bush i might be running from something
Ok and interesting. My company observes Vet Day as a paid holiday. I would assume you have a problem with that as next Monday, government, banks, many schools, and some private companies get the day off. Why would that bother you if you care to answer? Personally, I won't criticize one way or the other but I personally can't understand the perspective you are sharing.
lol. Slim pickens around here. Sadly, it's the best selection without going to Charleston and overpaying. Honestly, I'd estimate drug stores hold 40-50% of the liquor licenses in WV.
In stores it's still beer & wine after 1, no liquor. Bars, clubs, restaurants are decided on a local level (eg: Brunch Bills).
Vet day is one of 3 that i support the whole country taking off ....the other 2 is labor day & the 4th ....might go for Thanksgiving.
I repect your company for that ...vets should get it & we should take the day to pay our respect to them
Looks like I overshot that estimate...
Prior to 1990, liquor was sold only in a state owned system of stores, known as ABC Stores. In that year, the state withdrew from the retail liquor business and auctioned off permits to private businesses, who operate as "agents of the state". In smaller counties, a local monopoly was provided for, with only one agent per area, but in larger counties, multiple competing agencies were granted. Agencies are rebid every 10 years. In the 2010 rebid, the following agencies were granted:
Rite-Aid drug store chain, 42 agencies
CVS drug store chain, 9 agencies
Seven-Eleven convenience store chain, 20 agencies
Sam's Club warehouse store chain, 2 agencies
Kroger grocery store chain, 1 agency
privately owned convenience stores, 31 agencies
privately owned alcohol and tobacco shops, 14 agencies
privately owned grocery stores, 7 agencies
privately owned souvenir shop, 1 agency
privately owned stand-alone liquor only stores, 40 agencies
Closer to 30%
If you're ever near the Huntington Mall (in Barboursville), stop and check out the King Cut Rate Tobacco and Liquor. Good selection and decent prices.
Why cant we do prostitution like alcohol, have a permit system & a shelf system..ya know top shelf middle shelf & bottom shelf ....we could unionize them & get taxes & they would get good medical.....wow what a good life it could be
Close enough but thanks for the info. When I'm home in Pburg visiting twice a year, I have never thought to look in a drug store for liquor. Hell, on the north side of town, it seems North End Market has all the business anyway. What a gold mine that hole in a wall joint is.
I've heard rumors of them procuring a wildly popular bourbon and raffling that ***** off in the real near future. Never been tho.
That is downtown by the Blennerhasset, correct? I just saw someone talking about it on here a few months ago.
No sir , its on emerson, if headed north right past the cvs on the left , very nice hole in the wall bar , good food , good people
No sir , if at north end market, make right out of parking lot headed north , go past the cvs like your heading out rt 2 it will be 500 yrd on your left . Its called the par , very nice little bar , locally owned, bartenders & atmosphere is awesome, nice little hole in thw wall , me & girlfriend goes all the time
Oh, across the street from the cemetery? That is a little more than 500 yards. Old Powell Honda spot. I'll go google it.
Lol, and I'm wrong. I see it. Never noticed this place before. Was it open in July, which was last time I was home.
You live in that part of town? Grew up first part of life close to City Park and then North Hills. So, I know this area well. You could have said north of Rosemar Road as I was confused with the drug store by the NET and assumed wrong. Isn't that a Rite Aid?
