YCT Nay on Motion to Table. Amendment 118 to the budget would have taken $1.4 million appropriated towards bingo compliance operations and given it to volunteer fire departments around the State of Texas. It is much more the role of government to protect the lives and property of the citizens of Texas than to police bingo halls. With 78% of firefighters in the state working as unpaid volunteers, Texans get a good return when we invest in them.
