Booze Ban Goes To November Vote (Again)

PDF versionSend to friendPrinter-friendly versionOn Tuesday the San Diego City Council voted unanimously for a third attempt at banning alcohol on city beaches and parks. The city council conceded to democracy and the proposition will be on November's ballot.

Councilman Kevin Faulconer, who backed the effort to call on voters to decide the fate of the ban, said the atmosphere at the beach has been "fun and relaxing" without drinkers at the beach. Councilman Brian Maienschein said voters should have the final say.

"This is something that quite clearly merits going to the ballot," Maienschein said.

This will be second time voters have had the option of approving a ban. They rejected an 18-month ban at two city beaches six years ago.
