One of the first things Milton McGregor ever told me was that he wouldn’t lie to me.
That was in March 2014, several months before I wrote an in-depth series on the history of gambling in Alabama and McGregor’s role in it. It was the first of many interviews, and McGregor wanted to set the ground rules.
“Let me set some things straight so we understand each other,” McGregor said. “If I tell you something is a fact, by God, you can take it to the bank. I won’t ever lie to you. I might tell you I don’t know for sure something is true, or that I believe something to be true but can’t confirm it, but I won’t ever lie to you.”
