Lawyer's big bonus under investigation

Station Casino are still under investigation after giving St. Louis lawyer Michael Lazaroff a 500,000 dollar bonus. Seth Bachelier has the story.

Station Casino executives chose not to give information to the Missouri Gaming Commission concerning the half million dollar bonus.

St. Charles Republican Steve Ehlmann says he thinks the commission should have issued subpoenas in person when they had the chance.

The original subpoenas couldn't be enforced because they were faxed instead of served in person.

No further commission action has been planned yet.

From Jefferson City, I'm Seth Bachelier.

The Missouri Gaming Commission remains clueless as to what caused Station Casino to give a St. Louis lawyer a half million dollar bonus. Seth Bachelier has the story from Jefferson City--

Shortly after receiving his bonus from Station Casino, Michael Lazaroff pleaded guilty to defrauding his lawfirm.

But there's still a big question St. Charles Republican Steve Ehlmann wants answered.

Ehlmann says there's a good chance he won't get an answer to his question.

That's because the Gaming Commission faxed subpoenas to Station Casino instead of delivering them in person.

That means Station executives weren't legally bound to tell the commission anything.
