McKinley County limits liquor sales

GALLUP — A northwestern New Mexico county has passed a resolution that will ban liquor sales before 10 a.m.

The Gallup Independent reported the McKinley County Board of Commissioners passed the early liquor sales restriction in a 2-1 vote on Tuesday.

County Attorney Doug Decker said that before the resolution was passed, packaged liquor could be sold at 7 a.m.

With the new resolution, stores within the county will have to wait until 10 a.m. to begin selling liquor.
