Der 18 by the former liquor direc-
tor. George Franklin. the same day
that former Governor Tom Bolack
announced a freeze on the issuance
of further licenses during the time
he remained in office. This parti-
cular license was not affected by
the freeze, since Franklin said the
Liquor Division had had clearance
from the Mckinley County Board
of Commissioners prior to the
freeze.
However, an investigation was
conducted at the request of Cover
nor Campbell, following the Tribes
protest to the issuance of this or
any further license near the reser-
vation. The attorney general re-
ported thar the Thompson license
had not been validly issued and was
void. In declaring the license void.
Campbell stated that this was not a
''revoc alton" and that "certain le-
gal requirements were not COM
piled with. I"
