BIG BUCKS BINGO OPERATORS SENTENCED FOR CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE IRS
William J. Tway and Robert J. Ford were sentenced today in federal court in Boise for conspiracy to defraud
the Internal Revenue Service through their operation of Big Bucks Bingo in Garden City.
U.S. District Judge Robert J. Timlin sentenced each man to six months of incarceration followed by nine
months of home detention. He also ordered each of them to pay a fine of $30,000.
In sentencing Ford and Tway, Judge Timlin called their activities "an elaborate and prolonged scheme designed
to generate substantial income" for them, and said they had "undermined the functions of government" by
defrauding the IRS.
Ford and Tway ran Big Bucks Bingo starting in 1996 under a provision in the state constitution that permits
bingo and raffle games operated by qualified charitable organizations. A related state law requires that at least
20 percent of the annual gross revenues of the games must be given to charitable or nonprofit organizations
to be used for charitable purposes.
In April of this year, Ford and Tway were found guilty of conspiring to file false returns with the IRS,
substantially overstating the amount of monies that were actually given to charity. Tway was also convicted of
aiding and abetting the filing of false returns in 1999 and 2000 for the Free Speech Foundation, one of the
charitable or non-profit entities that operated Big Bucks Bingo.
"Today's sentencing demonstrates that those who willfully attempt to undermine our tax system by playing
fast and loose with the rules will be held accountable regardless of how complicated a scheme they devise,"
said Paul Camacho, the acting IRS Special Agent in Charge for Idaho.
"The Idaho Constitution makes it clear that bingo is only authorized when it substantially benefits a charitable
organization, not just its operators," said First Assistant United States Attorney Marc Haws, "and the Idaho
Legislature has acted to give specific meaning to that provision. The sentences imposed today should send a
clear message to others that the law and the Constitution will be enforced

HOA Forces Family to Remove Disabled Child's 'Therapy Home'

First, a U.S. Army vet's American flag. Then, a Virgin Mary statue. And now, a child's medically-mandated playhouse?

Though it's not breaking news that homeowners' associations are drawing fire for their questionably strict enforcement of covenant rules, specifically those regarding personal items within "common areas," the latest decision from an HOA in Lexington, Ky., has raised more controversy and community-wide furor than usual.

The Andover Forest Homeowners' Association in Lexington is demanding that the playhouse of 3-year-old Cooper Veloudis, who has cerebral palsy, be removed from the Veloudis family's yard.

The playhouse, which was built upon the instruction of the toddler's therapist, cost the family $5,000 to construct and plays a vital part in his physical development. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders, physical therapy by way of daily exercise is the "cornerstone" of cerebral palsy treatment. And this playhouse, designed specifically to help Cooper become more active, has been proven to be central to the treatment of the toddler's disorder. "Since we got this, he can walk stairs on his own." "He has thrived with this," Cooper's mother, Tiffany Veloudis, told television station WMBF News.

    

Despite the toddler's progress however, the Andover Forest Homeowner's Association had announced that it would stick firmly to its ground. No matter what the circumstance, the structure remains "strictly prohibited" and Ernie Stamper, who represents the Andover Forest Subdivision, insisted that the board "will not back down."

"It's not something we have a reason to discuss," Stamper told television station KTSM 9. "There are people who live here who expect us to abide by those covenants. It's why they bought their house. Structures not attached to a house are not allowed."

In the meantime, the Veloudis family has also been ordered to pay $50 for every day the playhouse remains in their yard.

But in the days since the story was first broadcast early this month, the public backlash has spurred the HOA to soften its stance, the local NBC affiliate reported. The association decided that the playhouse can stay, at least for the time being. The Veloudises are still in talks with the HOA and say they're building a case to keep the playhouse.

And this week state lawmaker Richard Henderson, a representative of the Mount Sterling area, has said that he plans to draft a bill that would enable the family to keep the playhouse indefinitely and bar similar HOA action.
