Union Formed For Bingo Charities

Some charities in Walker County say they're getting short-changed. They claim the area's play bingo halls should be giving them a bigger piece of the profits.

Bill Cleghorn is not pleased with the Walker County Bingo Resolution.

"The resolution clearly states that the bingo sites charities will receive all the funds after the reasonable expenses. It's questionable about what's reasonable expenses," says Cleghorn.

Walker county play live bingo halls operate under the notion that charities benefit from their profit, but the document does not specify how much the halls have to donate.

Cleghorn is now heading a county charity union for the organization's to have a voice in the matter. He says participating charities don't understand how these bingo halls generate millions of dollars, when they only see a few hundreds in profit.

"If you can't talk about it, you can't say anything about the operations of charity bingo, then there's something that needs to be looked at because somebody's hiding something," Cleghorn adds.

He believes the charities are not properly funded because they haven't taken action before. Now, he says: Those days are over.

The Walker County Commission declined to comment on the matter.
