Read the subpoenas for yourself
For those of your following this story, about subpoenas for Speaker Jim Black's records, will be interested in this.
The Speaker's office has released the subpoenas. There are three, all of them in PDF files:
For bonus fun, click here for the news release that came along with the subpoenas. I had to copy the release from an e-mail, so it's not all official looking.
My favorite thing about the subpoenas is they seems to be fairly ecumenical, they go after everything and anyone it looks like the prosecutor could think of associated with Jim Black. So, of course, it asks for correspondence between Black and lottery companies, folks in the video poker industry, staff aids, lottery commissioner Kevin Geddings, etc..
Some of the odder folks on the list: Michael Decker, the Republican then Democratic and then Republican legislator who through the House into a tie last session, Southland Gaming of the Virgin Islands, and establishment listed as “Thee Dollhouse.” I thinking they mean this joint. (Warning, not a suitable link for those of us at work with less understanding bosses or those at home with less understanding spouses.) Also on the list of “relevant parties” is ElectriCities, the organization for public power providers.
Fascinating stuff. The paper will carry a wire story telling us what it all means tomorrow.
