While researching a story on illegal gambling in Winner, news reporters found Attorney General Mark Meierhenry at a blackjack table in town today in 1979. Meierhenry, a Gregory native, explained it was his day off. He then proceeded to close the gambling ring. The Republican state treasurer, David Volk, was also caught. No legislative penalties followed and the Tripp County attorney refused to prosecute. Meierhenry and Volk later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and paid a $100 fine.
