PA regulatory official steps down
The executive director of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board resigned on May 29, citing “personal and family reasons.”
Anne LaCour Neeb’s hasty resignation came three weeks after the Allentown Morning Call reported that she and board chief counsel Frank Donaghue ordered gaming investigators to repeatedly alter a background report on Mount Airy Casino owner Louis DeNaples. DeNaples has since been charged with perjury for allegedly lying to investigators about mob ties. Though his operating license was suspended in February, the casino is still open for business.
Neeb is a New Orleans native and former executive director of the Louisiana Gaming Control Board. She resigned effective June 6 but will continue to be paid through September.
