I agree the free enterprise will ALWAYS do better than governement, as governement is not MEANT to be in BUSINESS. It is meant to do OTHER LIMITED things, and once we get them outta the way we will be better off.

I am a little taken back that a Spainish company got the bid

There's some misunderstanding about toll roads in Texas. The North Texas Tollway Authority, which is a public government agency, operates all current toll roads in the DFW area. They're the ones imposing these outrageous late fees, which turn small unpaid tolls into hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Private businesses are building express toll lanes, in which the toll rate will be increased as needed to prevent excessive congestion. In these projects, the businesses are also paying to rebuild... [ More ]

I totally agree with you on this one--Perhaps I can send this to CA Lottery as a hint--general more winners and you will generate more profits

Governor Perry has your best interests at heart. Trust him and everything will be fine.

It wouldn't hurt to send him a few bucks to help him retire his campaign debt either.

We all have to work together in this world if we want to improve things. Be a uniter, not a divider.

But most of all, don't be a hater.

Have a nice day

Give free enterprise a chance.

You'll like it a lot better when private industry takes over.

The biggest crooks are in government.

In Texas the NTTA turned over management of toll roads to CINTRA, a corporation based in Spain. Take a moment to google what the citizens of Texas think of the NTTA now. Thinking in absolutes and blindly adhering to ideology leads to this kind of nonsense. There are people that would argue it's better to let a foreign corporation profit off Americans than let Americans draw a pay check. Ever since our idiot governor Rick Perry started this privatization push, now we're paying all these excess fe... [ More ]

Let's think about this in a business sense.

WHY would any business do a service for the government if they didn't get good or great return in profits?

And WHY wouldn't the Lottery Commission would give away profits to a private concern?

They are thinking about doing the same in Pennsylvania and I think it stinks!! With the corruption of big business in the news each and every day why would any Government turn over a program that would be so easy to have some greedy b**tards rob the citi... [ More ]

He's a good man, Saylorgirl.

I wish Tennessee had Mitch Daniels.

He'd go good with our Charlie Daniels and Jack Daniels.

Our Governer Mitch Daniels has done an excellent job of privitizing many operations of the state government. He outsourced our toll road a couple of years and it has worked out extremely well.

It's rarely a bad thing when government gets the hell out of the way and let's private industry do it's thing.

How about giving more back in winnings to the players who make everything possible. This continuous greed mentality will only come back to

take a big bite out of their behinds.

Never bite the hand that feeds you!!! Hope you lottery executives in Indiana are reading this.

Indiana lottery to outsource some operations

Lottery Post — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:24:35 GMT

The Indiana State Lottery Commission is asking companies to bid on taking over some of its operations.

The commission Tuesday issued a solicitation for companies to bid by Aug. 31 on taking over the sales, distribution and marketing of the lottery, a state agency whose income has shrunk in recent years. It expects to sign a 10-year contract by Nov. 1.

Lottery spokesman Al Larsen said the Lottery Commission will retain certain duties, including overall oversight of the lottery, rulemaking a... [ More ]
