The Nebraska Liquor Control Commission voted Wednesday to deny the renewal of licenses to four stores in Whiteclay.  The four stores sold three-and-a-half million cans of beer last year alone.  The town borders the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota that is plagued with alcoholism.  Scottsbluff attorney Andrew Snyder represents the four liquor stores and says they will take action.

Snyder says this is part of a long running political effort to shut them down.

Snyder says the appeals process could take several months.
