Statesboro City Council began 2016 with the swearing-in of three members, two of them new. But an old issue, alcoholic beverage regulation, was back on the agenda Tuesday and will be for several upcoming meetings. Before the meeting ended, the council scheduled work sessions for Jan. 19 at 4 p.m. and Feb. 2 at 5 p.m. on the proposed replacement of the Alcoholic Beverages Ordinance.
