In 2006, Columbia Daily Tribune reported that a defunct pac Friends and Loyal Allies of Graham (FLAG) previously established by then state Representative Chuck Graham-D, in 2002, received $5,000 from Gaines-Brown. This firm represented MO Association of Club Executives, (MO-ACE). MO-ACE is a trade group for the strip club industry. The Daily Tribune started asking questions, FLAG revised its report to say that it had actually received the $5,000 from People for Private Enterprise (PPE), another lobbying group for the adult entertainment industry. FLAG's reported it paid $5,000 Ohlsen's political consulting firm for “polling.” Graham said that the last activity from this committee occurred in 2002. It suggests, these characters used Graham’s inactive committee to filter money to Skip Ohlsen for something other than polling. This new activity occurred when the Legislature was considering a bill to place greater restrictions on the strip club industry. Daily Tribune quoted Ohlsen told former Senator Coleman that Graham used the money that “came from the porn industry” to “pay for something.” PPE contributed $35,000 to a committee controlled former Speaker Rod Jetton’s (r) aid. Legislators were called before a grand jury investigation to explain what happened and some were prosecuted. A year later Skip Ohlsen worked the president of strip club chain Micheal Ocello’s campaign for the Mehlville School Board. Ocelllo happens to be the president of Ace National.
