Smoking ban unclear for city-owned bar on reservation

“It is almost a law school examination question, that the competing jurisdiction of the tribe and the state is highly unusual in this particular situation”

City officials say they're getting conflicting information from tribal and state authorities about the status of their on-and-off-sale municipal liquor store, which serves as the town's bar and offers tribally ... via Minnesota Public Radio

[yeah right]

since when has Callaway ever cared what the Reservation wanted? When it was land claims and clouded titles the people in the region were very much against the reservation and the history (they even cut down the boundary sign). Now that they feel it would be to thier advantage they want to use the fact that they are included in the reservation??? what a joke Ha ha Callaway your are a municipality liquor store deal with it they licensed you, follow thier rules

[WTF]

i think what is really sad is that the tribe feels the need to hide behind the regulatory issue. why can't everyone just abide by laws and get over it? if the city licensed the bar, which is controlled by the state, then they too should have to abide by state laws regardless of what the tribe says. seems to me that this is becoming a matter of convenience depending on which side you want to be on. sad.

[ah ha]

Smoke in the Callaway Bar is the last of your worries. Maybe the new internet video survaliance system will help catch those smokers.....thats right! Callaway has gone high tech in video survalliance.....not only will you be on video, but a simple click of the mouse and your across the internet! Do you really want to trust who acess the web cams or what they do with it! What happen to the good old days of going into a bar to get away from it all. Now everyone knows what your doing......Where does that video go and where over the internet. So the next time in the Callaway bar and your lighting up that smoke, make sure you get the smoke lit the first time as you are on internet video.....P.S. Remember to smile too!

"going into a bar to get away from it all. now everyone knows what your doing"
so, you don't think that going into a bar isn't being in public and people don't see you? and just how does a bar 'get you away from it all'? you have to leave some time, don't you? and, internet video? ever heard of youtube? anyone can end up on that for no reason. gawd, get a foil hat and put it on tight, maybe try zyban.
