Bingo Is a No-Go
Senior citizens and other groups that lobbied the city to permit bingo games will have to go elsewhere to play, the City Council has decided.
After months of debate, the council rejected a plan that would have allowed bingo games on private and city property, much to the disappointment of seniors at Creekside Park Community-Senior Center and parishioners at St. Edward’s Catholic Church.
Council members Harold R. Kaufman and Karen Lloreda had proposed an ordinance that would have allowed bingo at the city-owned Creekside Center during restricted hours, but it was defeated.
