Are you saying that you are Russel Hubbard?

From my previous link:

Panamaed, you seem to be coming out in support of the monopoly held by the Indian Casinos and equally in support of a corrupt politician trying to hold a businessman back from conducting legal business in the state of Alabama.

To me, both sides of this issue are corrupt in their own special way.

I don't have a problem with letting the voters decide, but the Bill that they vote on should be set up for a Yes to gambling with a FREE MARKET APPROACH or No to ALL State Licensed gambling.

The Indians have bought out Milton and others in some areas already with them retaining 35% of the Action.

I am for letting the sunshine in and watching the cockroaches scatter. If there is going to be gambling there needs to be enogh taxation to cover the detrimental effects, oversight and more. I am almost for letting the Government control it completely....maybe then they could do away with the IRS!

There is an ongoing federal investigation of possible "vote buying on the part of gambling interests.
This is the latest news on that:
So the feds are letting the sun in and there are no cockroaches. At least no more so than usual.
This is an Alabama state issue, when the eventually vote to allow the Bingo Machines they will set up a Gambling Commision which will tax and regulate it heavily.
The IRS is not involved in Alabama state taxation and so could not be eliminated over this issue.

What did Milton McGregor say about the Racketeering case against him, Convicted Ex-Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford and the Gaming Machine manufacturers filed in the Middle District of Alabama?

How much do you think Larry Langford HONESTLY WON at McGregor's Hall?

This is another take on some of the shenanagans:

Alabama legislator predicts grand jury indictments

MONTGOMERY, Ala.

One of several Alabama legislators who testified to a federal grand jury Wednesday predicted indictments will result from the investigation into possible vote buying on a bill to authorize and regulate electronic bingo casinos.

Republican Rep. Barry Mask of Wetumpka choked up and wiped away tears as he talked to reporters after his private appearance before the grand jury.

Mask said he told the grand jury, "There are a lot of shenanigans going on." He would not elaborate because he said it might jeopardize the investigation.

But he said he had talked to federal investigators earlier in their investigation of possible vote buying, and he predicted the grand jury will issue indictments involving the Legislature.

"The state deserves a lot better than what has gone on in this body the last four months," Mask said.

"If it's this corrupt before we have it, just think what it would be after," he said.

I think the word count was under 150 and it is not the entire article.

Am I missing something else...I am choked up and wiping away tears, too.

An interesting chart.
