The Nebraska Liquor Control Commission on Tuesday denied a license application for a new beer store in Whiteclay.
The Oglala Sioux Tribe and Nebraskans for Peace opposed the license. They say the state is not doing enough to enforce liquors laws in the town, just across the border from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
Whiteclay currently has three beer stores. One was shut down because the owner had a felony conviction. The owner's son is asking the commission for permission to reopen.
