I still don't think the TLC will mention computer drawings for awhile. They have enough PR problems without throwing a cat in with the dogs. The last thing they need is more problems.Orangeman

OrangemanDawn Nettles believes Gary Grief is the one pushing for computer drawings.If lottery commissioners let Grief off the hook and appoint him director, computer drawingswill be one of his top priorities.

With all these allegations, I don't think the next regime is gonna risk more problems with trust by going to computer drawings.

Executive Director Gary Grief and General Council Kim Kiplin should also resign.Both knew of the deception and could have stepped in.Word is that Grief and Kiplin were upset when Greer got appointed director.Have to wonder if they acted together to 'set up' Greer.
