Coleman prepares to grab even more gaming money from charities: First Direct Access, now Bingo

Here’s a clip from Christy Clark’s radio show on CKNW, Monday, November 2: Cheryl Ziola, Exec. Director BC Association for Charitable Gaming, interviewed by Christy Clark

The issue: Rich Coleman is floating the idea of grabbing bingo revenues from charities, the same way that he grabbed casino revenues from charities in late August (by cancelling Direct Access grants). Apparently the decision will be finalized during the next 30 to 60 days, and Coleman feels that “old tired charities” in communities around the province will benefit from having their funds commandeered for a greedy politician’s pet projects.

The interview is with Cheryl Ziola, Executive Director of the British Columbia Association for Charitable Gaming.
