Ferriday introduces video bingo ordinance

The ongoing saga to bring bingo to Ferriday continued at a special meeting Tuesday as the Ferriday Board of Aldermen voted to introduce a video bingo ordinance.

The board did not adopt the ordinance but approved publication of the proposed ordinance in the Concordia Sentinel before a second public hearing takes place at the board's next meeting in January.

"We should have waited because it wasn't done right in the first place," said Ferriday Mayor Glen McGlothin.

The aldermen voted to reconsider electronic video bingo at its meeting last week after McGlothin vetoed action taken by the Council in November approving bingo.

In November, Elijah "Stepper" Banks, who introduced the motion, Gail Pryor and Gloria Lloyd voted to approve electronic video bingo, Somer Lance voted against it, while Johnnie Brown abstained following a public hearing.

Last week, needing two-thirds vote to reconsider the veto, Banks, Pryor, Lloyd and Brown voted for the motion, while Lance voted against it.
