Major Legal Gambling War..Rages on in Alabama..

Late word that Country Crossings near Dothan is to reopen soon....WSFA-TV Montgomery has lots of stories....Here is latest statement from Country Crossings...:

Country Crossing will reopen its doors. 
  
We are confident that our electronic bingo games are legal under the test announced by the Supreme Court in the Cornerstone case, and we look forward to the opportunity to defend their legality in court.  
  
We have sought a declaratory judgment in this matter since the antics and drama of the Task Force escalated in early January. We applaud Attorney General King’s decision to seek a civil declaratory judgment to resolve this issue in a court of law. We will, of course, abide by any decision that the court renders, but as we have stated from the beginning, we are confident that our machines are legal based on the Houston County Amendment and the Alabama Supreme Court’s six-point test. 
  
Officials of Country Crossing are working with managers of the establishment to reopen. Employees will be contacted once plans are finalized and underway. 
  
Will Matthews, lawyer for Country Crossing said, “We are putting people back to work and will once again generate tax revenue for Houston County. We will also begin making preparations for concerts at the facility. This is a great day for the people of the Wiregrass, the state of Alabama and the rule of law.“ 
  
Matthews will leave open his invitation to the attorney general and district attorney of Houston County to come to Country Crossing and perform a civil investigation of the machines. 
  
Lorrie Morgan’s Hot Chicken, Darryl Worley’s Worley Bird Saloon and John Anderson’s Cafeteria will reopen soon. Managers will be contracting employees of the restaurants regarding when to report to work. 
  
The Grascals Bluegrass Hollow RV Park and George Jones Possum Holler Bed and Breakfast will also be open for business.

No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding. A few hours later, they robbed a bank in G
