While stationed in Nuernberg, Deutschland a female Soldier friend of mine was sexually harassed by a superior. She reported it, however the upper echelon of the Chain of Command said she should have told the perpetrator to stop it. This was in the late 80's. (From what I gather the military still has problems with this).

Case in point is the notion that safeguards are in place in the CT lottery reminds me of the Army story. Baloney is what I say and glad the FBI was notified. Whistleblower pr... [ More ]

I agree 110%. I assume we all only know a small percentage of illegal behavior by lottery officials so I want to laugh when they want to claim transparency as a reason for non-anonymity. I don't see how any lottery official can assert that claim with a straight face. The players are not a reason for concern 99.9% of the time.

Those who are so opposed to states letting winners remain anonymous and say they want transparency well here's some transparency for you.

So much for keeping them honest. Now the whistleblower becomes the hunted for telling the truth when no one would listen

For a moment it looked like some meaningful information might be released to the public this week about the latest upheaval at the Connecticut Lottery Corp. (CLC) this time in the form of an order Monday that lottery Vice President Chelsea Turner be placed on an indefinite leave, six days after disclosing in sworn testimony that she contacted the FBI in about 2014 with suspicions of wrongdoing by a superior.

But it hasn't turned out that way.

The CLC's board of directors scheduled a specia... [ More ]
