......I dont normally talk Politics or Religion here on FB but this has effected everyone of us that live or make our living here in Macon County and I wont get in a P-ing contest about this, but this article is SPOT ON.....so here goes.......this is only my opinion.......its been 4 years now since these rich Political Pricks have shut down Victoryland........so many in business here have closed and no telling how many people have had to move from here to find jobs to feed their families.......all so these rich Political JERKS can gain from our loss......what kind of person closes down a business that employed over 2,000 people and has paid almost 400 MILLION dollars in state and local taxes in the middle of a recession his last year in office.......I have nothing against any of the Indian Casinos at all but if they take tax money and jobs away from all of us effected by closing the other Bingo facilities in our state and by giving money to these sorry GREEDY Politicians shouldnt they have to play by the same rules as everyone else.......so why are they allowed to give campaign money to any Politician in our state at all.......is that fair to the rest of us......after all they are immune to our state regulations when it comes to gambling because they are controlled by the Federal Government......is that right.......Im not sure how much longer we can keep our doors open here at the Floral Park Motel and weve been here 54 years.......the opening of interstate 85 didnt hurt us like this has and that was years ago.......the way I see it is, if they are going to contribute large amounts of money to help the officials in our state get elected they should have to play by the same rules as everybody else.....if the same bingo machines are legal at the Indian Casinos shouldnt they be legal at any Bingo Casino in our state.....after all they ARE in the state of Alabama. montgomeryadvertiser/story/opinion/columnists/josh-moon/2014/08/08/gambling-money-good-campaigns-state/13786107/?fb_action_ids=[%27916858331674041%27]&fb_action_types=[%27ogments%27]
