Rally at West Birmingham Car Wash on Riley’s Connections to Gambling Money, PAC-to-PAC Transfers
 
Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley, the Democratic Party’s nominee for governor, will hold a rally at Dundee’s Car Wash and Detail at 1700 3rd Ave. West in Birmingham from 11:30 am to noon on Wednesday, September 6.

Baxley will ask Governor Riley to “come clean” about his connections to Mississippi gambling money and outline her proposal to ban PAC-to-PAC transfers, according to a press release.

Baxley will also hand out copies of former Riley aide Michael Scanlon’s company ledger showing he earmarked $75,000 for Riley under the heading “Operation Orange,”  the nickname he gave to transactions intended to limit gambling competition on behalf of the Mississippi Choctaw Indians.

Testimony included in a report issued by Senator John McCain’s Indian Affairs committee shows that the total amount of money in question could be as much as $13 million.
