| Description | Last summer, Beason was a key figure in Alabama's gambling corruption trial. He testified about wearing a recording device for the FBI during its investigation of whether campaign donations were being offered to legislators for votes on pro-gambling legislation.
During the recordings he referred to customers of a casino in a predominantly black county as "aborigines." He later apologized, but Senate leaders removed him from his important leadership position as chairman of the Senate Rules Committee. |
