Former lottery and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning commissioner Kevin Geddings has been indicted for failing to disclose that Scientific Games paid him $228,796.18 for his work as a consultant.
The 42-page indictment alleges that Geddings concealed his work for the company because he knew it would disqualify him for a seat on the lottery commission.
Geddings’ indictment is the first to come out of a federal grand jury investigating possible violations of the state’s lobbying and campaign finance laws. Many of the people who have testified have ties to House Speaker Jim Black, who appointed Geddings to the commission.
Ethics. Reform. Leader.
