Winneshiek County Saloon Petition Fails for One Year
Saloon backers in Winneshiek county failed to secure the required signatures on election day. Districts in the north and south showed mixed support with some precincts near 100 percent for saloons, others well above 65 percent. The petition effort was abandoned after a countywide vote trend indicated defeat. Filing of consent petitions expired with no papers filed, ensuring no saloons in the county for at least a year and likely longer unless laws change.
