This was an excellent editorial.  Well written and although controversial, it needed saying.

Samantha's editorial was outstanding. Even if a person does not fully agree with her, you have to admire and respect her for her talent and her courage!

She is terrific! 

She is totally correct to try to compare our town to "Footloose".  She hit the nail right on the head in my opinion.

You're exactly right there was no voting on karoke, bar dancing (what kind of dancing is that anyway, is it different from non-bar dancing) or other forms of entertainment, that's why they are trying ban it. It wasn't on the ballot when we voted in sales.  Same goes for sunday sales, there was no vote to not have sunday sales, as it also was not on the ballot, and the previous clowns on the commission, and two on this one, voted not to have it. One commissioner saying he wouldn't want to sit next to someone in a restaurant, after he went to church,  while the other person was drinking a beer.  Strange, he sure sat next to many people, myself included, at the lake after church, drinking a beer.
And the former mayor shot his mouth off so much before the election promising people it would never pass, he had to not run again. 

And our glorious commissioners. They voted unanimously on the first reading of the ordanance to ban karoke, and then in the same meeting, after it was over, talked about how they didn't know if it was the right thing to do or not. THEY DIDN'T KNOW, BUT THEY VOTED ANYWAY.  TALK ABOUT WISHY-WASHY POLITICIANS.

The commission had to ban these things becasue they weren't in the referendum. They are scared of losing their next election.

If you got any Guts at all you will name this commissioner that sat next to you at the Lake Drinking??? But, I don't think you will. You need to back up what you say little Miss! This sounds like a bunch of Hokus Pokus congered up by a Disgruntled TimeTribune supporter???

However, I am glad you agreed with my Point on the Conduct. This is not what the ordinance is about. Evidently you do not understand the Law. Beer served only with a meal. That is Clear.

This looks like the above post was submitted by the same person who sends in the posts that rip people to pieces. Instead of debating and presenting your ideas you attack viciously the person with whom you disagree.  This is America, not Baghdad. We have a right to disagree, but we should respect each other.  The song "Respect Yourself" is important. If we respect ourself, we will likely respect others."

In fact, I bet your the Disgruntled Times Editor that come up with the Ridiculous editorial in Sat Paper! Are You? You seem to compare the Town to Footloose and Slam Commissioners at the same time.

If I were the mayor or City Commission, the times Tribune would be the Last people I would speak with. I would let you guys and gals at the Times keep running your mouths and making fools of yourselves in those silly editorials.

I hope the folks reading these threads are not fooled by "RELDNIWS"

Everyone needs to realize that Ms Swindler is not for  Corbin.  She will only be here for a little while and then will leave Corbin for another job.  She would like to tear up the community on her little issues.  The people of Corbin need to realize this and fight to keep our community together. This type of stuff is not good for our community.

Again let's hear from the poster who claims they sat by a City commisioner who was drinking a beer at the Lake. Let's find out who this is???

This poster needs to Fess up or quit making phony claims! I find this interesting someone would say this and not reveal this person on this site.

Evidently you don't get what I want you to tell us. We Know you or the poster claims they were drinking a beer. WE  WANT TO KNOW WHAT COMMISIONER YOU ARE MAKING CLAIMS ABOUT?????

Just interested in if you are telling BS! or you are telling truth.
So tell us all who this person is, no big deal about the Beer.

SWINDLERS ARTICLE????? Is Swindler trying to Swindle the folks in Corbin. I am a little peeved that she would compare our town to the movie footloose. The people in this town voted for alcohol to be served in a Restaurant with a meal.

There was no voting on Karoke, Bar Dancing or other forms of entertainment that people who keep drinking  want to act out. This is the problem that the police are having. Trying to Slam Dunk the City commission on this issue is not going to Swindler any News Award!

Some people would like to eat at a Restaurant without the type of conduct that Swindler it trying to defend in her News Column. I am confident that the Police and City Commission are correct on this issue.

Maybe Swindler and her cronies at the so called "Footloose Tribune"should build Their own Wine Bar on top of their building so that could have a Birds eye view of Downtown Corbin!!!

Who ever is here cronies need to run far.  They are digging a big hole and people are starting to see it.  RUN! RUN! RUN!  DON'T DANCE!

If I want to dance, I'll dance. If I want to go where there is Karoke and dancing I will go. You and your two other hosses are the ones digging the big hole, and you three are the ones who can't see anything. We know who the three of you are.

If we go back dry again kiss goodbye the chance to attract good jobs that will allow many of our young people to have the option of staying here to pursue their dreams or just packing up and moving away.

The more of our kids that go elsewhere will then be able to go to many different types of places and even purchase their alcohol in the super market. They can go to all kinds of bars and package stores.

Control! Control! Control! Some people want total control!  They pretend they want our area to succeed but in their hearts they want it to stay like it was in the past. The number of arrests for DUI is down. We are getting some good restaurants.

Let's not live in the past.

seen where fayette county is getting sunday sales!  i would love to know how many million goes to madison, fayette and even campbell co. tn. to buy alcohol in package stores.  i would bet it would floor you.

Another funny post.

Millions Flee From Tri-County Area

Get Real. Drink your beer and let it go for awhile.
