<div>My only surprise is that this was done without a big election, campaign, and hail/fire/brimstone campaign from Oakdale Baptist Church and the like.</div>

Several ordinances were combined into one comprehensive document in order to simplify the regulation.
The most significant change was to allow the sale of beer and light wine on Sundays throughout the county.
The sale of beer on Sunday has been prohibited since 1991 - the rules were changed in October 2010 when the BOS voted to allow businesses on Pearl River Valley Water Supply District property to sell beer on Sunday.
Recently several businesses near the reservoir approached the supervisors and complained that the current ordinance gave an unfair advantage to businesses on PRVWSD property.
The supervisors discussed the matter and voted 4 to 1 in favor of making the change to allow Sunday sales.
Rankin County Board President Jared Morrison voted against the change and stated his opposition was based on the fact that the public was not notified of the change and, therefore, not allowed adequate time to comment or provide input to the plan.
We obtained a working copy of the new ordinance, there may be a few minor corrections made before it is finalized.
We will post the final copy of the ordinance when it is available.
You can view the draft copyHERE.
The new ordinance, like the one it replaces, still forbids the sale of beer and light wine on election days.</div></div></div></div>
