Anti-Liquor Group Refutes Rumors

RUSK — A citizens’ group by the name of “CALL,” Citizens against Legalized Liquor, is clearing the air about its position on the liquor election in the city of Rusk. Voters there approved the sale of beer and wine three years ago. Now comes Saturday’s vote on sales of liquor in the city. According to KETK, the group is refuting rumors that it has accepted money from competitors in other towns to fight the liquor sale election in Rusk. The group says its members are people of integrity who have refused offers of money from people who sell liquor in other East Texas communities. The group is asking the people of Rusk to pray about the election to decide if the sale of hard liquor is what is best for their families and the community.
