Gaming Board Slams Morning Call Over DeNaples Stories

May 23rd, 2008, posted by Greg Palmer

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board expressed ‘‘indignation’‘ Wednesday over stories in The Morning Call about the board’s handling of a background investigation into Mount Airy Casino Resort owner Louis DeNaples.

‘‘The articles are based upon misinformed assertions attributed to unnamed sources who clearly misapprehend the board’s functions and the law applicable to the board’s mission,’‘ the gaming board wrote to key state lawmakers.

‘‘It is this very type of reporting based on anonymous sources which has perpetuated misinformation of improprieties and which now appears to be forming the basis for some of the current legislative debate.’‘

One has to assume the Gaming Board can’t handle the truth. I’m sure if there are further investigations more “improprieties” are sure to be uncovered. Who do they (the board) think they are fooling? Their very existence has been a farce from day one. They began by appointing freinds and associates of Louis DeNaples to the board and then wonder why there are questions regarding the awarding of his slots license. All the Gaming Board did was create six figure jobs for a bunch of cronies that already have six and seven figure incomes. The Harrisburg political machine alive and well.
