Alcohol referendum idea debated, tabled by Council

It has been more than five years since the members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians voted on referendum issues dealing with alcohol on tribal lands. During that vote, which took place in April 2012, four questions were put forward to the people and only one – allowing alcohol sales at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort property – was passed.

Painttown Rep. Lisa Taylor introduced legislation, in Annual Council on Thursday, Oct. 26, calling for a referendum vote on sales outside the property of the casino. After much debate on the issue, the resolution was tabled and a work session will be scheduled.
