Bell Buckle seeks repeal of brown bagging ordinance

Bell Buckle residents may soon be allowed to bring their own liquor or wine to restaurants that want to allow it. Here are more details on the story we reported this morning.

Bell Buckle’s board passed the first reading of an ordinance that would make “brown bagging” legal again.

“Brown bagging” is the practice of a customer bringing his own bottle of wine or liquor to a restaurant to consume with a meal.

The repeal was introduced by Alderman Mark Felices, who stated that he did not want to “change the character of the town,” but that it was a bad law because there was no way to enforce it.
