Hmm...that sucks. I always thought she was good about sending free coupons for free lottery tickets every once in a while. I think she helped the lottery be pretty fun to play in Indiana. I always imagined I'd be meeting her if I ever won big in that state! I got 4/6 on the Hoosier Lotto when it was up to 24 million!!! Close

Well, in government now a days there is no room for mistakes of ANY kind in regards to spending. Its not so much WHAT she did its the fact that SHE did it. One little thing like this IMPLIES that she might have/would of or could of have done alot worse (spending wise) and NO ONE will accept any spending mistakes.

The smart ones are ALWAYS watching what they spend and why AND openly talking about what they are spending money on.

Hopefully her successor and government agency administrators elsewhere will take note.

They are there to serve the public at the expense of the public.

Not to luxuriate in pampered splendor and excess.

I think she could have learned from her mistake without resigning. I don't think it was so serious that someone's livelihood be affected.

Hoosier Lottery Director Kathryn Densborn stepped down Friday after coming under fire for moving the lottery to a posh new headquarters in Indianapolis.

Gov. Mitch Daniels said in a statement he accepted her resignation, which was effective Friday.

Densborn came under fire last week following reports of lavish spending on the move from Pan Am Plaza to a 35,000-square-foot office on Meridian Street.
