1.Milton McGregor: My detective found
antigambling task force commander in casino
By George Talbot forPress Register/Al.com
VictoryLand owner Milton McGregor said Thursday that a private
detective working on his behalf caught David Barber, the head of
Gov. Bob Riley's antigambling task force, playing a slot machine at a
Mississippi casino.
McGregor said he hired an investigator to follow Barber to the Golden
Moon casino in Philadelphia, Miss., where Barber won a $2,300
jackpot in late December.
"I knew he was going there. I knew what took place in Mississippi,"
McGregor told the Press-Register. "I wasn't out to destroy David
Barber. He destroyed himself."
McGregor and other Alabama casino owners are waging a
high-stakes battle with the Riley administration over the legality of
electronic bingo machines, which have been seized in raids led by
Barber's task force.
Barber, a former Jefferson County District Attorney, resigned his
position as commander of the Task Force on Illegal Gambling on Jan.
