Jim Preuitt, R-Talladega

It's bipartisan corruption...except he was a Dem when it was happening...

From his Senate page: "Having previously served as a Democrat, Senator Preuitt officially announced as a Republican on April 6, 2010."

Butchered title to make it fit. Was:

"Updated: VictoryLand owner Milton McGregor, Alabama lawmakers and others arrested in federal probe of state gambling legislation"

I've seen conflicting reports suggesting Ronnie Gilley was also arrested today. Have you seen anything about that?

Gambling is just a poor match for Alabama. It doesn’t fit the state’s personality at all. It doesn’t make money there, and by and large the citizens don’t want it.

Allowing a race track to be built to begin with was a huge mistake. Instead of expanding gambling, they should just roll back what has been done already.

States are different.
