Dothan, AL – Vice President Dick Cheney arrived in Dothan Monday afternoon for a fund raising reception for Governor Bob Riley's re-election campaign. Cheney was scheduled to speak at a private dinner Monday night at the home of Charles and Kay Nailen. Organizers say the event is expected to raise nearly 250-thousand dollars. Riley says it will be the largest fund raising event ever held in Houston County. He says it shows his strength in the Wiregrass area. His opponent -- Lieutenant Governor Lucy Baxley -- is a native of that county.
