A Republican candidate for governor of Alabama will criticize Gov. Bob Riley (R) for cracking down on electronic bingo.
Bill Johnson says Riley might be influenced by gaming interests in Mississippi, including the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.
The Jack Abramoff investigation found that the Choctaws poured millions of dollars into Riley's campaign in hopes of stopping gaming in Alabama.
Riley has denied knowing that the Choctaws were behind the effort. His former Congressional press secretary was MIchael Scanlon, who pleaded guilty to defrauding tribes out of millions of dollars.
