Members of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of Arizona go to the polls next Tuesday to vote on an expanded liquor sale initiative.

The tribe currently permits the sale of liquor at its golf courses and casinos. The initiative expands the law to restaurants.

The initiative creates a 2 percent fee for each drink consumed. The revenues will be used to fund the health care facility on the reservation.
