You all may want to check out this article in the Tennessean today which is critical of Rebecca Paul's overstated accomplishments regarding the GA lottery. It also states that while ticket sales rose, monies to fund education did not rise at the same percentage sales did, and alluded to the fact that expenses were too high. (Remember all those slick TV ads they don't give away??????) Also other lottery directors were saying that other states ran their lotteries for less, salaries were not as... [ More ]

Why should this surprise anyone? This happens all the time in alot of other industries. $180K is pretty steep though. Makes you wonder what you have to do to become a lottery exec.

We need someone in case she decides to jump ship again. I hope she doesn't think that Tennesseans are dumb...far from it..That is one thing I have never liked..since she is going to get a good salary, she is moving all of her friends here as if this is a big gravy train...She had better ask someone..Gov.

We've accommodated what she wanted, but enough is enough. Paul has so far hir... [ More ]
