Another Troy King conflict of interest story

2009 April 26

Courtesy of the Birmingham News:

Three months before he issued a legal opinion that clears the way for a developer to get a gambling permit in Houston County, Attorney General Troy King was one of the featured guests at a party thrown by the developer.

Houston County Sheriff Andy Hughes said the legal viability of Ronnie Gilley’s proposed Country Crossing development was at stake, and the opinion told Hughes he has no choice but to issue a bingo permit once certain conditions have been met.

The timing of this story is interesting.  The party happened over a year ago so why bring this up now?

All I know is that the race for AG in 2010 is going to be lots of fun!
