Sunday liquor sales on ballot

The issue for the West Side Drive-Thru and Carry Out on Franklin Street in Marietta was not placed on the ballot because of issues with some of the signatures collected for its petition. The Washington County Board of Elections decided on the petitions Tuesday. A liquor license in Ohio does not include the right to sell alcohol on Sunday.
