Goatropers Bar & Grill in Farming Township has retained its liquor license even as its owner faces felony charges for failing to pay taxes. Stearns County Commissioners voted in favor of renewing the license for Anthony Thelen with conditions that it be revoked upon any violation of the bar's operation. The license requirement also states that employees must be trained regarding underage sales.
The St. Cloud City Council has voted 6-1 to lift the moratorium on the number of liquor licenses allowed in the city. The lone council member that voted against removing the moratorium was Sonja Berg.
