The Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians in California wants to expand liquor service at its casino. The River Rock Casino has suffered since the opening of the Graton Resort and Casino, which is owned by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. Lifting restrictions on liquor could help address the competition but some locals are worried. "I have huge concerns with that, because it’s a rural road. It’s very dangerous,” North County Supervisor James Gore told The Santa Rosa Press-Democrat. The Dry Creek Band wants to serve liquor on the casino floor, something not allowed under the current license, and wants to expand the number of hours liquor is available. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control will consider the changes. Get the Story:
