THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN REPORTS THE BAN ON SELLING THOSE TINY BOTTLES OF BOOZE IN SANTA FE HAS BEEN OVERTURNED. THE ORDINANCE … APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL IN APRIL … WAS TO HAVE TAKEN EFFECT THURSDAY, TO CUT DOWN ON LITTER. LIQUOR STORE OWNERS SAID IT WOULD HURT BUSINESS AND THREATENED TO SUE … SO ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY ALFRED WALKER ASKED DISTRICT COURT TO RULE ON THE BAN.
JUDGE SARAH SINGLETON ON TUESDAY RULED THE ORDINANCE WAS NOT LAWFUL AND IN CONFLICT WITH THE STATE LIQUOR CONTROL ACT.
