A western Kentucky man has appealed a judge's decision to allow a voting precinct to decide whether to ban alcohol.

The Paducah Sun reports that W.E. "Petey" Rogers filed the appeal last week of Trigg Circuit Judge C.A. "Woody" Woodall's ruling that the Montgomery voting precinct can hold a referendum to ban alcohol sales.

Rogers represents Grow Trigg, a community organization that sought the repeal of prohibition in the county for economic development. The county voted wet on Sept. 29 by a majority of 36 votes.

Woodall ruled Jan. 28 the county could hold a referendum in the Montgomery precinct. Montgomery residents contended they were a distinct entity from the county and did not have to wait three years before conducting a new referendum.
