Residents of the Alaska Native community of Nulato voted overwhelmingly to open an official liquor store.
Mayor Glenn Demoski said the city is already overrun with liquor. A store won't increase drinking but at least it will generate much-needed revenues, he said.
Four other Native communities operate liquor stores. Officials say they provide revenue and haven't led to an increase in alcohol use.
