To the Editor: Thank you to the Kings Mountain Herald for cover- ing the mixed beverage ref- erendum request (Aug. 21, 2008 pg 2) as they got it right and understood that this is about our right to vote. City Council should fol- low the lead of the Cleveland Chamber and Citizens for Progress and allow the people of Kings Mountain the right to vote on this important issue. In these difficult economic times, with our local indus- try being exported, we as a community need to maxi- mize our abilities for eco- nomic development. Practically speaking, liquor, beer, and wine are already in Kings Mountain, but what missing is our ability to com- pete for higher-end busi- nesses. Each Applebee's, Outback, or the like can gen- erate 50+ full and part time jobs. These people in turn buy houses, pay taxes, buy goods, and contribute to the growth of the local economy as well as attract additional businesses. One study esti- mates that over 8 million dollars leaves Kings Mountain to surrounding communities. A vote on mixed beverage would pro- vide the opportunity for us to compete on a level eco- nomic playing field. . For example, is it right for citizens of Kings Mountain to be required to pay an extra “GAS TAX” of $7 to $11 (by gas tax I mean that it costs an extra 2 to 3 gallons of gas to drive there and back) just for the privilege of enriching the neighboring communities by eating din- ner in their restaurants?
