Governor’s Office Comments on Removal of False Pro-Gambling Ad

MONTGOMERY - Jeff Emerson, Communications Director for Governor Bob Riley, issued the following statement after television stations began removing a false and slanderous ad paid for by gambling interests from their airwaves:

“The pro-casino ad campaign is nothing but lies. People deserve to know the truth about who is behind these smear ads and why they are lying to Alabamians. It just goes to show that those who claim to be for ‘letting the people vote’ will do anything and say anything to get what they want."
