CLEVELAND - The hot issue of outlawing the practice of brown bagging is scheduled for a final vote by the White County Commission early next month. <br>
<br>
The matter was set to be addressed by the commissioners a couple of months ago, but was tabled. <br>
<br>
The resolution if approved would prohibit bringing your own bottle of alcoholic beverage to a restaurant in the unincorporated areas of the county. <br>
<br>
Commissioners are getting it from both sides: hearing from those in favor of it on moral grounds, and, others who feel it would interfer with their individual rights. <br>
<br>
White County commission chairman Chris Nonnemaker says he has questions about the legality and enforcement of such a ban. <br>
<br>
Many people are asking that it be put to a public vote in a referendum. <br>
<br>
Commissioners plans to vote on the issue February 5th.<br>
