Secrets out

What did Chester know and when did he know it?

We certainly know who Chester owed and when he owed it and the scientific community is united in that fact.

State settles TouchPlay lawsuit for $1.6 million

Iowa will pay the settlement to the largest operator of the TouchPlay companies to sue the state.

Royal Financial is a West Des Moines company founded by businessman William Krause, whose family owns the Kum & Go convenience store chain.

It seems like yesterday that Jim Nussle warned...

"...There's a secret plan out there to either reinstate TouchPlay or for that matter, for a secret settlement."

That was because Krause pulled his support (money) from Nussle's gubernatorial campaign, after Nussle called for a ban on TouchPlay, and pumped the funds into Culver.

Krause's $25,000 investment in the Culver campaign earned him $1,671,370.50 and now he can sell off his machines.

The taxpayer ends up getting screwed because no lottery funds are part of the settlement.

Talk about Kum & Go.
