In a Bethel advisory vote, most voted yes to the city supporting a liquor license application for a liquor store, but voted no for a bar, club, restaurant or eating establishment, according to unofficial results from Bethel’s municipal election Tuesday.
The majority voted no on another advisory question asking for blanket support of liquor sales in Bethel.
Bethel voters also raised sin tax rates in binding propositions.
For proposition 1, asking whether or not to increase alcohol sales tax from 6 to 12 percent, the majority voted yes at 64 percent in favor.
For proposition 2, asking whether or not to increase marijuana sales tax from 6 to 15 percent, the majority voted yes again, this time at 69 percent.
Official results will be issued Thursday after the ballot is canvassed.
