POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Oke: "Senator Vognild, would you please explain to the Senators what the bingo stamp is? I thought that was just exciting to know and have that little piece of knowledge of the transportation area. I know you have a good example of that."
Senator Vognild: "The bingo stamp was a ten dollar stamp which was levied against each truck that operated in the intra-state trucking industry. It was levied in their home state and then the money was distributed on a proportional basis to each of the other states. I'm not sure where the name 'bingo stamp' came from, but I think that it came from the fact that some of the states--or some of the truckers had numerous stamps that fit in there and I guess they played a bingo game on their card."
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the roll call on the final passage of Substitute House Bill No. 1707.
