Day

Thomasville Mayor Sheldon Day has endorsed the legalized sale of alcoholic beverages within the city limits and at the same time lashed out at what he called a "totally false representation of several issues" by the organization opposing sales.

Day, in a seven-page letter/news release, said, "After looking at all the facts, after talking to the leaders in wet communities all over the state, after giving tours of Thomasville with CEO's of major companies who are shocked that a 'very progressive community like Thomasville is not open to the legal use of alcohol' and understanding that their view of Thomasville has been negatively affected by that; after realizing that many of the potential new businesses and the growth of existing businesses in Thomasville will be lost or the chances for growth will be damaged by a 'no' vote; and as a mayor who takes very seriously his role in the long term economic health and growth of our community; I will vote 'yes' on Aug. 14."
