Federal agents arrested 11 people in Alabama this Monday, including four state senators and Alabama’s top two casino owners, in an alleged vote-buying scheme. The case centers on a failed effort to legalize electronic bingo. It’s the latest in a months-long bribery and corruption investigation and legal battle over bingo expansion in Alabama. WBHM’s Andrew Yeager retraces the events.
