MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama's gambling corruption trial has exposed a little-known source of income for some legislators: thousands of dollars in referral fees from lobbyists.
Testimony in the case shows that Republican Rep. Barry Mask of Wetumpka and former Democratic Rep. Terry Spicer of Elba were paid for referrals for years.
Mask testified he has been receiving more than $10,000 a year from lobbyist Steve Windom for referring Computer Associates to him as a client. Mask said the referral fees started before he was elected to the Legislature in 2006.
Former Country Crossing lobbyist Jarrod Massey testified in a pretrial hearing that he paid Spicer $1,000 to $2,000 per month for six or seven years for referring clients.
