Author: TALLADEGA, Alabama — The Talladega City Council has voted 4-0 to send a letter to Alabama’s governor asking that the local ABC store remain open.
City Manager Brian Muenger cited a letter from Alcoholic Beverage Control Administrator H. Mac Gibson, which had been passed on to him by state Sen. Jerry Fielding.
Gibson’s letter said that because of reduced funding, he’s considering closing ABC stores as their leases come to an end.
