News From Jackistan

The big story in The Jacksboro Gazette-News is sales tax revenue has plummeted. Revenue is down over 40% compared to a year ago. Meanwhile, just down 380 a few miles in tiny Bryson it is up a whopping 121%!

What could it be? I had an interesting conversation with a long time Jacksboro resident who said there are only 2 stores in Bryson. A convenience store and a liquor store. Jacksboro is dry and Bryson is wet. Put 2 and 2 together and what do you get? A huge chance there will be a wet/dry election very soon.
