Wakefield liquor licenses face police report prompt
The state liquor control commission requires local or state police to investigate tavern license applicants. Chief Stanley Tyack submitted an unbiased report favoring removal of three Wakefield licensees for noncompliance. Governors, party politics, and votes influence approval despite the findings. Governor Loren Dickinson, age 80, promotes frugality, religion, and restraint in office. The Michigan legislature weighs restoring trunk line maintenance to counties like Gogebic, where local officials oppose state takeover.
