Council sues mayor

Bessemer's City Council yesterday filed a lawsuit against Mayor Ed May to force him to issue business permits allowing the reopening of electronic charity bingo parlors.

Also named in the suit is Travis Brooks who is running the city's Revenue Department on a temporary basis.

The parlors voluntarily closed on Feb. 6.

Robert White, who operated the Anchor Club, says he will open for business the day he gets his permit.
