Dona Ana County Allows Restaurant Beer, Wine Sales


Associated Press
      LAS CRUCES — Dona Ana County voters have overwhelmingly approved a measure to allow restaurants in the southern New Mexico county to serve beer and wine.
    Turnout Tuesday was light — an estimated 3.4 percent — but the unofficial tally shows 84 percent of those who turned out voted in favor of the measure, while 16 percent voted against it.
    Now restaurants in Dona Ana County have the right to apply to the state for permits to sell beer and wine with meals.
