North Alabama town sues Sheriff over bingo
April 23, 2008
The Birmingham News reports in a story today that the small north Alabama town of Triana has sued its sheriff following raids on two electronic bingo halls that led to them being shut down. The residents claim lost tax revenue from bingo is making it difficult for the town to survive financially.
The story is only loosely connected to Country Crossing in that it is simply another state story about electronic bingo. Meanwhile, an electronic bingo bill related to Macon County and Victoryland continues to clog the Alabama Senate. A philibuster is expected to continue tomorrow.
