A candidate for Louisiana Supreme Court said he does not support gaming even though he worked for the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, whose primary business is a casino.
Attorney Jimmy Faircloth said he was hired by the tribe during a leadership crisis. That was also when the tribe became embroiled in the Jack Abramoff scandal.
Faircloth later went to serve as executive counsel for Gov. Bobby Jindal (R). He said he worked to oppose any legislation that would have expanded gaming in the state.
