Booze is coming to Hutchins -- and Wilmer!

Voters in the small southern Dallas County suburb appear to have approved an initiative for package sales of beer, wine, and alcohol..

With all five precincts reporting to Dallas County Elections, the measure was up 58-42 percent. If that holds up, Hutchins would be the only place in the county south of the Trinity River to sell spirits as well as beer and wine.

Meanwhile, an identical proposition passed 51-49 in neighboring Wilmer, with one of two precincts reporting.

Well, Lancaster folks, throw in the towel once and for all. Even without beer-store funded opposition from Clyde Hairston and the Gonzales brothers, you'll never get anything passed now.
