While I would personally prefer all stores were closed on Sunday and beer was not sold in Cedar Hills, I am uncertain of the benefits from requiring such behavior. If stores in Cedar Hills are closed on Sunday but open in American Fork, how will this affect behavior? And if stores in Cedar Hills do not sell beer but residents can still drink beer, what difference does it make?
Because I cannot answer these questions and I do not have enough time to carefully study responses to these questions, I am voting "no" on both initiatives. I know the mayor and City Council of Cedar Hills. Their thoughtful decision-making is more likely to result in the "public good" than the results of our one-time initiative election on June 28.
