Bingo license bill vies for Illinois Senate action
Illinois Senate faces a vote next week on Sen. Howard Mohr’s measure to legalize bingo under the Illinois Bingo License and Tax Act. The bill would require 10 percent of gross earnings to the state for mental health and education funds, with a $2,250 weekly purse and possible $60 to $80 million first-year operation. Gov. Ogilvie supports signing with safeguards against crime, while Rep. John G. Fary calls bingo a way to aid fraternal and religious groups and reduce taxes. One senator, John Knuppel, opposes it, saying it favors charities over revenue.
