Exactly. And the lottery does not need a court to take action here against one of their employees. They can do it themselves.

Confrontation Clause. The Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to be confronted with the witnesses against him.

I don't believe this is a criminal prosecution case.

However, Attorney General's Office to investigate the anonymous complaint - maybe they can take the them to court? I don't know. Even then, it's not considered a criminal case...

Personally I could care less. Does it affect me?

Not a hypocrite.

Maybe I'm missing something or didn't care to thoroughly comprehend the articles, but has the Whistleblower name ever come up? Anonymous sending of pictures will not hold up in court; you know something called KNOW YOUR ACCUSER as part of the Constitution.

This is what l call classic This WB wants to make a name for themselves.

Check this out: Lets for argument sake say you are the Whistle-blower. You invited to the party, you attend, but do not like what you see, so instead of leaving- you decide to take pictures and send them off to the higher-ups, hoping something can be done about a party that is now history. When no word gets back to you after a year, what do you do? Well, let me send another batch, to remind them that even after all this... [ More ]

Did you read the original article?

They did not wait 2 years.

An anonymous report was filed last year and no action was taken.

Quote from the first article:

It was the second time that the package and an appeal for an investigation was sent to the administration. The similar anonymous package was sent to the administration a year ago.

So it sounds like it was the same person yet nothing was done.

I am guessing the only reason anything is being do... [ More ]

It is time for boycotts. Women lead boycotts. They hold the purse strings.

A lot of people have dinner at bars and places that serve alcohol. It does not mean they are drinking or there for other reasons. There are laws regarding whistle-blower protections and there is always some level of retaliation once the name is known or suspected. This is common knowledge in the workplace if you have a career. This is why many women and minorities keep their mouths closed or change jobs. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Personally I feel like the whistle blower thought they may get a promotion or something out of the deal but when none of that transpired they told on the individuals. Because why wait two years from the incident before you say anything if you were filing anonymously anyway? Ijs

You have got to love the anonymous letter complaint piece.I say if this party bothered the whistle blower/ blowers that much, why not post your name.Get it out there to your fellow co workers that you did not like what was going on. Grow a spine- this is not deep throat.

I bet if this fellow WB is interviewed behind a screen their voice changed, you would probably hear, ! l am a Mother, l have small children ..well guess what, your actions have now put those pictures out there for your childr... [ More ]

The State Controller's Office also is auditing the Lottery s financial management practices.

A Californian lottery winner of $600.00 or more will receive their check from the State Controller's Office. The Lottery Office in Sacramento does the security check on the ticket to make sure it is legit and there are no problems with it.

This complaint is a black eye for the CA Lottery. But black eyes heal with the proper treatment.

The Lottery employees go through a Department of Justice... [ More ]

Gary Hart couldn't run for president because as tabloid ran a picture of him in a boat with his 'other'. Ironically, he was wearing a tee shirt that said 'Monkey business.'

A few years later the President and Monica Lewinsky..........in the White House.

These are the Attorney General s recommendations. Next time they ought to take the whistle blowers suggestions to heart. Have a party that allows musical chairs or jumping on the spot. Heaven forbid someone should truly have a good time. If we going to see hear piano playing , let it be out in the open, where we can bring the kids along.

You would think that with everyone having a cell phone (with camera) that public officials would behave more appropriately in public, but nooooooooooo, boys must be boys.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye!.....or their job.

The California Lottery is postponing a planned sales conference in the wake of an anonymous employee's recent complaint to Gov. Jerry Brown about senior leaders behaving inappropriately at a Southern California bar two years ago.

The department on Tuesday announced that it's delaying the conference while it retools some of the training it intended to offer to focus on human resources and nondiscrimination policies.

The conference was expected to take place next week in Sacramento.
