State Gaming Director Daniel Bergin said his state-assigned attorney did nothing wrong or illegal in destroying notes of his May 2015 meeting with officials of tribes trying to undermine the Tohono O’odham casino in Glendale.
In legal papers filed in federal court, Bergin said through outside counsel that Roger Banan, an assistant attorney general, took the half page of notes solely to brief him after the meeting. More to the point, Bergin said it was Banan’s practice to destroy such notes after the briefing.
