Sandifer speaks out on ballot question #3

Oconee voters gave thumbs up to a Republican ballot question, and one of the county’s state lawmakers says he agrees with the sentiments of the proposition.  State Rep. Bill Sandifer is worried for the bar and restaurant industry if it can’t find affordable liability insurance.  The Oconee tally finished overwhelmingly in favor of the call for an immediate legislative priority that would protect small business against certain kinds of large jury verdicts in cases that allege a bar should share in damages when a customer drinks too much and then drives and either hurts or kills another individual.
