MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Gov. Bob Riley has thanked the Alabama
Baptist State Convention for supporting the governor's efforts to
stop electronic bingo operations in Alabama.
The convention approved a resolution opposing electronic bingo
and praising the governor for his efforts to stop the games.
A group of more than 60 Baptist pastors held a news conference
Wednesday to announce passage of the resolution.
Riley has established a task force against illegal gambling and
is challenging the legality of electronic bingo operations across
the state.
