Lawyers working for Attorney General Andrew Bailey withdrew last week from a lawsuit lodged against Missouri by a politically connected company that has flooded the state with unregulated slot machines.
The action follows tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to a political action committee supporting Bailey from committees that have received contributions from the plaintiffs in the case.
The committees are also tied to Steve Tilley, a lobbyist for the two plaintiffs in the case, Torch Electronics and Warrenton Oil.
Warrenton Oil in December contributed $1,000 directly to Bailey’s PAC, called Liberty and Justice.
