MONTGOMERY: Three months ago Alabama Governor Robert Bentley was in Dothan. We asked him about the $ 9 million dollars spent fighting electronic bingo. We discussed the monthly storage fee of $ 17,000.00 a month for seized machines.
Governor Bentley did not think they had spent a lot of money on the issue since he has been Governor. I informed him over $ 3 million dollars.
Today he ended Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange role in the bingo. He referred back to local Sheriff's and District Attorney's.
First no one has given a clear and distinctive ruling. The Indians are allowed so the citizens of Alabama should be allowed.
I appreciate the Governor in finally stopping this financial bleed when so many people in this state are in need. And the State of Alabama has no money.
I realize it was started as a ego for former Alabama Governor Bob Riley. And we have seen the only thing Riley has interest in, his and his children's financial benefit. The State of Alabama is the last thing on Riley's mind other than how he can profit financially from it.
The State of Alabama, Houston County, needs to the jobs.
