Clermont Town Council voted Monday night to place a nonbinding straw poll on the Nov. 7 ballot over whether to allow beer and wine sales. Council directed the town clerk to get the help of legal counsel to draft the wording for the straw poll and have it on the ballot in time for the start of early voting Oct. 16. Council members Margaret Merritt and Kristi Crumpton agreed that the poll would be “more official” and get more people to respond if placed on the ballot. Councilman Doug Myers joined them in the majority. Council members Robin Brown and Seth Weaver voted against it.
