As a result, the stores were forced to block off the beer section. McBurney declined to say who had made the complaints. While the measure passed, it was not unanimous as Commissioner Freddy \u201cBruce\u201d Hodge cast the lone \u201cno\u201d vote. Hodge said he voted against it following both readings because of his Christian beliefs. \u201cSunday is the Sabbath day for me and I believe we should keep the Sabbath day holy,\u201d Hodge said. McBurney said it was also a question of economics.. When the city commission approved the ordinance regulating the sale of package alcohol in 2012, McBurney said Sunday sales were included in order to remain ahead of London and Williamsburg who had approved the sale of alcohol by the drink. London and Barbourville have since approved the sale of package alcohol. Barbourville\u2019s ordinance permits package sales to begin at noon on Sunday London\u2019s ordinance permits package sales to begin at 11 a.m. on Sunday. While the change to the ordinance also permits restaurants to begin selling alcohol at 6 a.m., McBurney said he doesn\u2019t believe any of the restaurant owners will do so. The city commission approved the first reading of the ordinance at a special called meeting Monday morning. The changes will go into effect upon publication in the newspaper of record, which city officials said would occur later this week."}
