Clermont candidates grapple with alcohol sales controversy

Questions related to alcohol sales dominated a candidates’ forum Tuesday night hosted by the town of Clermont. The town of about 1,000 residents with deep-rooted conservative values has resisted pressure in recent years from a few business owners who have been clamoring for Clermont to lift its ban on alcohol sales. They claim they can’t compete with other businesses that are able to sell alcohol throughout most of Hall County.
