You've got to be kidding me. Milton McGregor is one of the sleaziest operators around. Meanwhile, Bob Riley has run probably the cleanest administrations in Alabama history. So basically what Milton McGregor is doing here is getting mad because Bob Riley enforced Alabama's laws.

Hey, if you want gambling in the state of Alabama, then work to have it changed. But until then the law is the law.

Having sex toys is illegal in Alabama so why don't he closed down some of those stores. This guy is not clean if he was than he would enforce law on all illegal activity but instead he chooses to pick on the one that employees many people in a already bad economy. He has taken money and his destiny will be met. He's the crook. Milton McGregor is a business man, entrepreneur, somebody bringing tourism and employment to my state.

Actually, a Federal judge stepped in on the sex toys bit.

Riley is squeaky clean. I've done business with Milton McGregor, however, and that guy is incredibly sleazy. And while Riley is personally responsible for bringing tens of thousands of high-paying manufacturing jobs to the state and making wholesale changes in education and government that make further growth possible, a few minimum-wage bartending jobs just doesn't begin to compare.

Just saw an ad on tv trying to make out that Riley was somehow for the Indian casinos in Mississippi because he enforced the law in Alabama. I don't know where the spin doctors get such loopy stuff, but I gotta wonder if they are on crack. Golly, maybe if the gov eats cream of wheat he is secretly against all the farmers who plant corn in Alabama and subsidized by Kansas wheat farmers (never mind that Alabama grows wheat).

FWIW, I grew up in an area with a Gannutcase Newspaper. It made wonderful liners for the bottom of the birdcage.

Gee, mimpdaddy, Riley will have served out his terms and will be gone soon.
You might want to think about expounding on the benefits of legalizing gambling instead of expending effort on pounding a lame duck.

Face it. Gambling is illegal in this state. Personally, I don't care if they bulldoze Victoryland.
