State Attorney General started legal proceedings with the intent to halt the state's newest electronic gambling business located in White Hall. Two days ago, King filed an official objection in Lowndes County, defying whether a constitutional amendment allowing electronic bingo games in White Hall is really legal. King claims the 2002 amendment to the constitution should have been decided on statewide, not just in Lowndes County, where White Hall is seated. Under Alabama's constitution, any amendment that stirs any negative votes in the Legislature has to be voted on in all counties. He adds that the Lowndes County amendment had one nay vote in the Senate.
If a judge does rule that the constitutional amendment is unfounded, King reports that his next action will be to search for a court ruling opposed to the White Hall Gaming Center. The gaming center is located nearly 20 miles outside of Montgomery.
