Ralph Reed apparently forgot to register as a Texas lobbyist in 2001 and 2002 when he received $4 million from Abramoff and Scanlon. Watchdog groups in Texas have filed complaints in Austin.
The groups said Mr. Reed failed to register as a Texas lobbyist in 2001 and 2002, when he received more than $4 million from Mr. Abramoff and his partner Michael Scanlon. The Abramoff-Scanlon team was then pushing for a shutdown of casinos operated by the Tigua tribe of El Paso and the Alabama-Coushatta tribe of Livingston in East Texas. The casinos were ultimately closed.
