Senator will try to allay tribes' fears over bingo bill A bingo-expansion bill backed by the Catholic Church and other charities has been shelved in the face of stiff opposition from California's powerful gaming tribes. Sen. Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, canceled a public hearing set for today on a measure to allow churches, charities and nonprofits to run interconnected games that could offer prizes well above the current $250 limit. Cedillo said he has not given up on the legislation, SB 1328, and will take time to meet with Indian tribal leaders in an effort to allay their concerns.
