A restaurant has become the latest topic of controversy in Bonifay for selling beer and wine to customers.
Last Thursday, City Council members reversed their previous decision to grant "Townhouse Restaurant" an exemption from their alcohol sales ordinance.
But the owners are still selling it, claiming the meeting was "null and void."

It's almost lunchtime at "Townhouse Restaurant" but nobody's here.
"We used to be very busy. We used to have every table in the place full at lunchtime. Now, we're lucky to have two or three."
Kelcey Duke and her husband, Rocky, say it's because of all the scrutiny they've received for selling beer and wine.
It all started when Bonifay City Council members granted the Dukes an exemption from the City's alcohol sales ordinance last month.
The decision would allow them to sell beer and wine with food orders only.
However, the Council reversed their vote last Thursday night after people were apparently upset when they saw alcohol advertisements in front of the restaurant .
But the Dukes are still selling it.
Why?
"An attorney has contacted the property owner regarding the variance, stating that the meeting was 'null and void' due to not providing proper notification in the newspaper."
The Dukes say they did not know about the meeting until Wednesday night, one day before.
They also feel the community has tarnished their reputation.
"The Dukes say this whole situation has severely impacted their business. They no longer serve a lunch buffet and had to let go of almost all of their employees."
Ironically, the Dukes have received a lot of support from people in Panama City and DeFuniak Springs.
But very few in Bonifay.
75-year-old Harold Coomer is one of them.
"Down the street, all the windows are knocked out of the local tavern down there. They have no problem with that. Yet a little old sign that says 'happy hour' they get all excited over."
We talked to Bonifay Mayor James Sims Jr. but he refused to comment on the issue.
City Attorney Luke Taylor said they do not want to say anything pending the Dukes' lawsuit.
He also said he has not had the chance to research their claims.
The Dukes say this experience has drained them physically, mentally and emotionally.
But they refuse to give up without a fight.
"Yes, we will fight. We know our legal rights, we know a variance was given to us."

The Dukes say they have been in contact with several attorneys, including the American Civil Liberties Union, to proceed with their lawsuit.
