Former Pa. lawmaker who opposed slots won $15K at casinos and a $150k job

The truth hurts. Then this player asks, 'it's not illegal?' -- but he was part of the process to make it legal. Duhh...

Report: Former Pa. lawmaker who opposed slots won big at casinos - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Former Rep. Mark McNaughton, who voted against the state's slots law in 2004 and opposed gambling for years before that, won $15,500 between 2003 and last year, according to tax returns obtained by The Philadelphia Inquirer.

McNaughton, a five-term Republican from Harrisburg, disclosed his winnings on federal income taxes, but not on his state ethics forms, the newspaper reported. He is set to take his $145,000-a-year post on the gaming board by the middle of next month.

'It's not illegal to gamble, is it?' McNaughton told the newspaper Friday.
