Tax increase! Shut them down and the county would experience a far greater net positive economic impact than any tax increase. Many of there patrons are dropping over 200 a night when they make less than 800 a week. I lost more than one job I was too tired to after double sessions at Bingo World. My 17 year might be able to read beyond 5th grade level and get a job if I had been at home to help him learn to read instead of Bingo World. I've lost my house, been unable to buy food oft times and abandoned my children to go to Bingo World. My story is certainly not unique and is not some small percentage of the total patronage. Increasing the counties tax base by collecting more taxes from Bingo World is like putting your finger in the dike when the water is spilling over the top. You are bending over to pickup pennies and while dollars fall out of your pocket.

Ok look, I am Lavina Fowler's son. I am 18 now and I can read just fine and I have a job. I know how to do everything any other high school graduate knows how to do. I dropped out of high school and I had a good reason on doing so, I won't get into that because it's noones business but mine and my families. But I would just like to say that I can read, write, type and do everything just fine.
