Today in local history

The issue of caps on malt beverage licenses was on the ballot in the election scheduled for Sept. 18, 2007. Restaurant owners wanted to remove the cap. The opposition, made up of clergy and the Licensed Beverage Dealers of South Dakota, urged retention of the cap to keep the value up on existing licenses.
