Alabama Government in Perile

We here in the Great State of Alabama, live in an unfair rivalry between two heads of our Executive Branch; the Governor and Attorney General. In the last few weeks, they have acted like spoiled rotten children, with no sensibility. The words between the two have been juvenile, to say the least. A war of words has erupted as to who has the power over Bingo Parlors, since regular gambling is not legal. We have several Indian held and managed casinos, and there are several proposals in our legislature, but nothing legal in the general state. Bingo Parlors are allowed as long as the proceeds go to a legitimate charity. The two children I have referenced to, can't understand, or care how the people of our state, or the reputation of our state are perceived, by our peers or country. The courts have attempted to provide judgement in the situation, but to no avail. The two refuse to relinquish or surrender to the others power. The situation was made more volatile with the governor's appointment of a loud mouth commander, of the task force to shut down the Bingo Parlors. Now, to add even more fuel to the fire, the governor's only available task force are the State Troopers. He is taking them away from their duties of protecting our hi-ways. You can see this has a lot of people irate over the expense, and over their rumblings. We all know there will always be differences, but do you have to act like children, who do not know better.
