The California Assembly passed a bill on Wednesday to ban electronic bingo machines at churches and charities. The California Tribal Business Alliance, which consist of six tribes represented by the same attorney, is pushing SB 1369. The tribe say the use of the machines violates the tribal-state compact. Some churches and charities oppose the measure. "This is a ramrod job," said Doug Bergman, president of United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Sacramento, The Los Angeles Times. "You know it and I know it." The Senate is expected to pass the bill before the end of the legislative session on Sunday. Get the Story:
