I hope they will be able to cover all the concerns with regards to outsourcing. They don't have to rush just because the deadline is near. They need to determince all the advantage and disadvantage of outsourcing so they will come up with a good decision.

Ironic that we are a Common wealth (defined: a : one founded on law and united by compact or tacit agreement of the people for the common good)

For sale! One lottery division, One Liquor Division , and Turnpike!

I'm gonna wait though til they sell off the Department of Revenue and then go in for the deal! :)

Opponents of the outsourcing have challenged the need to bring in an outside manager after seeing that the lottery last year broke sales and profit records that were set the year before. They also point out polls show voters consider this a low priority for state government.

Whenever govt tries to undertake a questionable project that doesn't make sense, follow the money. It should be scrutinized to look for kickbacks, especially if there is only a single bidder for the contract.

Kane raised constitutional and legal challenges, sound like enforcement to me.

Attorney General Kathleen Kane thinks that SHE makes laws instead of enforcing them

Why out source when everything is positive. Tom needs to take a ride to the UK and see what players think about Camelot.

They broke sales and profit records last year.

I don't understand why they'd want to farm it out.

Unless they just feel incompetent at the administration of it.

But that's typical of most all government agencies.
