Attorney Kim Davidson explained to the council that every effort is being made in Montgomery to kill the so-called Sweet Home Alabama bingo bill because it would effectively freeze out the Bessemer Cutoff from having electronic charity bingo halls.
Instead, advocates are focused on getting a bill approved that would limit Gov. Bob Riley's power to utilize his gambling task force.
If that were done, Davidson said, consideration of bingo halls would be handled in the Bessemer courthouse.
Also, the council asked Davidson to file papers at the courthouse informing Circuit Judge Eugene Verin that Ed May II had been fired by the council and should not be getting anything from the court.
Those in attendance were council President Earl Cochran, Louise Alexander, Dorothy Davidson and Jesse Matthews.
Mayor Ed May was not at the council meeting.

Bingo for everyone! Ed May is a midget!
When was the meeting called I missed it! It appears only the ones they wanted were there.
They sent the notice out via email on Wednesday after failing to get a quorum on a Tuesday night attempt.
