Greenetrack will not shut down and it has a strong message to pass along to anyone who tries to get in its way. Senator Bobby Singleton says he will not let Greene County residents down and that he will make sure that their facility stays up and running. He also says there are too many people who rely on the jobs and money the facility funnels into the community. Singleton went as far as to say that unless Governor Bob Riley and his Illegal Gambling Taskforce showed up with a warrant, he would use any force necessary to keep them out.
"I as a senator for this area will go to our local sheriff and ask him to deputize as many men as possible that are needed to meet this force. I personally will stand in this door if I have to stand alone, if I have to go to jail along with others. We will not let them in and close this business down," says Singleton.
Singleton says that 13,000 machines in Greenetrack have been certified legal by Gaming Laboratories International under the six criteria handled down by the Alabama Supreme Court. Singleton adds that the bingo ordinance on the Greene County books was voted on by the people. He also says the community will not stand for any operation conducted without a warrant.
