...
Zane , however , said it appears the documents that Snowbarger received were internal memos from a polling firm that the tribe hired to assess Third District public opinion on casino gambling at The Woodlands.
...
When told late Monday of Zane's comments , Kevin Yowell , Snowbarger's campaign manager , and Snowbarger congressional aide Phil LaCerte confirmed that the Sept. 10 documents were indeed strategy memos written by the polling firm to Zane and the tribe.
...
If Zane is saying he never communicated this directly to the congressman , he's probably accurate , LaCerte said.
...
Zane said the poll results showed the issue ( of gambling at the track ) is hugely popular out there.
...
Zane confirmed that documents also spell out a strategy detailing how the tribe would help Snowbarger's campaign committee with independently produced mailings and phone banks , should the congressman end up supporting this proposal..Independent expenditures are permitted under federal election law if a candidate and the campaign committee remain unaware and uninvolved beforehand.
...
But Zane insists the strategy to aid Snowbarger was simply a hypothetical option.
...
If Snowbarger persists in calling the documents a bribe offer , Zane added , I will sue him for libel..
...
Zane is a former member of Young's congressional staff and the lobbying firm also maintains an office in Anchorage , Alaska.

...
Zane and his colleagues are banking a bit more than that.
