Johnson County voters overwhelmingly repeal liquor law requiring food sales

With three-fourths of the vote, Johnson County residents have voted to repeal what many called an “outdated” liquor law. The Johnson County ballot question asked voters if they wanted to get rid of a law that requires establishments serving alcohol to have food make up 30% of their sales. According to unofficial Johnson County election results, 253,808 voters, or 75.52%, voted “yes” on the ballot question, compared to the 72,581 who voted “no.” Local businesses like bars and breweries have said complying with the law has been a challenge.
