Montgomery, AL – The Democratic nominee for Alabama governor, Ron Sparks, says the timing of the gambling indictments a month before the election is suspicious and must be questioned.
The Republican nominee for governor, Robert Bentley, says the indictments are an example of what's wrong with Montgomery politics.
U.S. Rep. Artur Davis, who lost to Sparks in the Democratic primary, also chimed in on the indictments Monday. He says they are an embarrassing spectacle. He said candidates, including Sparks, should return contributions they received from any of those indicted.
