sitnopasm by user MisterApologist Written in 2003 by Adrienne Packer of the Las Vegas Review Journal (Photo of Lance Malone): Malone benefited from votes cast by incumbent Christensen that left him at odds with Sheldon Adelson, owner of The Venetian, who filtered $190,000 to Malone's campaign through his companies and the Republican Party.

The significant contributions from a controversial figure became the first of many nicks to Malone's reputation. He was labeled Adelson's puppet. Malone now is a focus of an FBI political corruption investigation that led to last week's raids of Galardi's two Las Vegas topless clubs, Jaguars and Cheetah's. Agents sought a variety of documents, including any records of payments or gifts to several former and current elected officials, some of whom served with Malone on the Clark County Commission. ---- (So These agents under the direction of Las Vegas based US Attorney Daniel Bogden investigated bribes using the ever-so intrusive Patriot Act that Lance Malone could have given during a time when Sheldon Adelson was supposedly using him as his "puppet") Efforts to learn the extent of that cooperation have been stymied by the extraordinarily tight lid federal officials have kept on key aspects of the probe. San Diego City Councilman Michael Zucchet told the San Diego Union-Tribune he believes the FBI raided his office because of his contacts with Malone. The reporter then asked whether Zucchet knew why the FBI raided the offices of his two colleagues. "I assume for the same reason, that they've had contact with Lance Malone. He seems to be the center of attention here," Zucchet said. Originally from Nevada Today on 1/19/07: After coming to the commission, she [Yvonne Atkinson Gates] managed to earn Sheldon Adelson’s wrath, which probably makes her the rule rather than the exception. The Venetian boss tends to dislike Democrats and union supporters. He also accused her of using her position to pressure him to s upport her interests—a frozen daiquiri business that might have gone into several Strip hotels. The Ethics Commission reprimanded her for that and later for using her position to help her friends, and for failing to disclose her connections and abstain from voting on them (a judge later overturned the Ethics Commission’s ruling)... __NOEDITSECTION__ From The Opinion Wiki, a Wikia wiki.
