Lewis denies he attended horse racing fundraiser
Texas House Speaker Gib Lewis angrily denied a lobbyist claim he attended a fundraiser luncheon tied to horse race gambling. The Fort Worth Star Telegram reported the Nov. 8 event drew 25 of 30 invitees and raised about 24 000 to 28 000 dollars. Lewis said he only remembers a lunch with businesspeople for Lieutenant Gov. Bill Hobby, not a horse racing fundraiser.
