Former state Sen. Andy Sanborn is accusing the New Hampshire Lottery Commission of violating his due process rights and failing to give him enough time to prepare for an administrative hearing, as the state seeks to revoke his license to operate a casino.
Sanborn, who ran for the Republican nomination for the 1st Congressional District in 2018, is accused of fraudulently accepting more than $833,000 in COVID relief loans from the federal government and then using that money on lavish purchases for him and his wife, state Rep. Laurie Sanborn, including a suite of sports cars. The Lottery Commission is seeking to strip Sanborn, who owns the Concord Casino, of his license to run a charitable gaming facility, claiming he is “unsuitable” to run the operation.
