Bingo parlor plans go forward
SHABBONA - A new bingo parlor operated by an American Indian tribe may soon be built near this farm town, despite the concerns of many local residents, a top attorney from the National Indian Gaming Commission told a packed high school gym Monday night.
Penny Coleman, acting general counsel for the commission, tried to explain the complex bureaucracy involved in approving and overseeing an American Indian bingo parlor to a group of about 200 concerned Shabbona area residents and government officials from the city, county, state and federal levels.
