Good to see folks in Lowndes County taking a stand against the slot machines at White Hall.
It amazes me to see a Judge that knew better than to rule that way and not recuse himself get a slapdown from his peers.
He should have stayed out of this, he knew he was wrong from the start.
its very possible white hall is not operating legally…something about how bingo was voted in by the county…i know some senators have been discussing it…i guess we’ll see… and btw, isn’t there just 7 days left in this session?? and it takes 5 days to get a bill passed??
i found it…check it out..

hummm…could this be the leg riley is standing on??
“The White Hall center operates under two constitutional amendments. One, approved by voters statewide in 2000, permitted bingo in Lowndes County, and another amendment, approved only in Lowndes County in 2002, expanded what could be offered. The second amendment should have been voted on statewide because it drew one negative vote in the Legislature, and any constitutional amendment that gets any negative votes in the Legislature must be voted on statewide rather than in a single county, King said.
The electronic games at White Hall now are not permitted under the original 2000 constitutional amendment, and “that is the fatal flaw,” King said.”
