City of Casey Municipal Code (1976)Title 5; Chapter 5.08.180A prohibits the sale of alcohol on Sundays. We feel with the growing tourism in Casey, alcohol sales should be allowed on Sundays.
It is our opinion that tourists are more likely to spend a larger amount of money in town if they are given the option of being served alcohol with their lunch or dinner. If they are not allowed this option, the people who want alcohol with their meal may choose to drive to a neighboring town that does allow sales on Sunday. Not only does this mean Casey could be missing out on people looking for a restaurant, but also those who may shop at our local businesses before or after eating.
Several towns surrounding Casey allow Sunday alcohol sales for restaurants: Greenup, Martinsville, Marshall, Effingham, and Charleston to name a few. Even Terre Haute, Indiana, a dry state on Sundays by law, allows the sale of alcohol at restaurant establishments. We also believe the City of Casey would greatly benefit from the increase in sales tax revenues from Sunday liquor sales.
If you agree that Casey, IL should allow alcohol to be sold on Sundays please sign this petition. Thank you!

I have been visiting our local restaurant owners to hear how this archaic restriction impacts their bottom line every single weekend. Losing potential customers to neighboring towns is a reality we can no longer afford if we want our community to thrive. I am currently preparing to bring these firsthand accounts directly to the city council.

Seeing the community rally behind this change shows me how many of my neighbors see the same potential for Casey that I do. The momentum building here makes me genuinely hopeful that our local restaurants will finally gain a fair opportunity to compete with surrounding towns.

I see several people on Sundays getting alcohol from either Martinsville or Greenup. Why do we continue to miss out on the opportunity? We need change along with the growing tourism.
Keepin the money in town instead of drivin to Marshall makes way too much sense. Let these local restaurants serve their customers.
Its 2018 people. We need to stop acting like its the 70s and let our local places grow.
NEED SUNDAY SALES!!!!
This would be good for the city's small businesses that serve alcohol. More revenue, better business, better small town.
No reason not too..

It's up to the consumer to decide wether or not he should consume an alcoholic beverage not the local government. It's up to the consumer to drink responsibly when they choose to drink.
