CLAY COUNTY, Fla. -- A law prohibiting the sale of alcohol until 2 p.m. on Sundays in Clay County could soon change.

The referendum is on the November 6 ballot in Clay County. Some business owners are pushing to move it to 7 a.m., which would make it consistent with the rest of the days of the week.

"It's been a big burden on all the businesses here in Clay County," said Elaine Cassala, who owns Whitey's Fish Camp in Clay County. "We wanted to be able to serve alcohol at 7 a.m. in the morning just like the other counties. We wanted to be on a level playing field as those other counties."

Some just don't feel it is appropriate to be selling alcohol on a Sunday or extending the hours.

Karen Brewer said on First Coast News' Facebook page, "It needs to stay at 2pm or even later at 3pm NEVER BEFORE 2PM ... (sic)."

Dax D. Bonnétt said, "How can u have an NFL team that plays at 1300 and restrict the sale of spirits to 1400 (sic)?"

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. -- If you want an alcoholic drink in Clay County on Sunday, you have to wait until 2 p.m., but that law could soon change.

There is a referendum on the ballot in Clay County about when alcohol can be sold on Sundays.  Some business owners are pushing to move it to 7 a.m., which would make it consistent with the rest of the days of the week.

Elaine Cassala with Whitey's Fish Camp in Orange Park says the fact that they and other businesses can't sell alcohol until 2 p.m. puts them at a disadvantage and their customers are going to the surrounding counties.  She says not only are customers that want to have a drink going to other counties, but also fisherman who would stop by to buy bait and a case of beer early in the morning are not coming to Clay County to do that on Sundays.
