ALABAMA (WIAT) — Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman has issued a statement in response to Governor Robert Bentley’s calls for a special session on a lottery vote.

In his response, Siegelman offers details of the last lottery vote that he spearheaded during his first year as governor in 1999, and claims that many people asking for this current vote railed against the previous efforts.

“So now some of these same people who fought the lottery in 1999, whose greed or lust for power cheated our children out of a better life, want Alabama voters to bail them out,” Siegelman wrote.

The full statement can be read below.

1. Wow! That's some nasty stuff that went on, but...

nobody's saying politics is nice stuff.

(I'm sure someone, somewhere, is blaming it all on Hillary.)

Frankly, I'm a bit disappointed he's not been pardoned.
