Statement from Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange About
Executive Order #13
(MONTGOMERY) – Attorney General Strange issued the following
statement in response to Governor Bentley’s executive order #13:

“Governor Bentley’s executive order is in line with my January 7, 2015,
memo to Alabama District Attorneys and local law enforcement encouraging
them to investigate and enforce our anti-gambling laws. I have been assured by
the Governor’s legal advisor that this executive order has no impact on the state’s
pending litigation, which I expect will further clarify the law to the benefit of
state and local law enforcement.”
