Governor Candidate Bill Johnson Held a press conference today at Country Crossing, to show his support on the project. He also spoke out about how Governor Riley is trying to throw up road blocks, and he feels it could be because of all the millions of dollars Riley has received from the Indian Casinos in Mississippi.

 Mr. Johnson also stated he feels it should be left up to the citizens of Alabama to say whether or not they want legalized bingo and not the governor. He also touched on the unemployment numbers and wants to know why Governor Riley would want to stop anyone from the chance to work and support their families.

Video of the press conference will be up shortly.

Now Johnson ran and was involved in all of Riley's campaigns. All of his terms for Congress and Governor. Johnson served in Riley's cabinet. He and Governor Riley, as some described, as connected to the hip.

Johnson makes it very clear today, the Philadelphia Indian money is influencing the actions of Alabama Governor Bob Riley as to electronic bingo. He made is clear, the $ 12 million dollars was connected to what Riley is doing.

Johnson said, let the people vote and decide the issue once and for all.
