There is absolutely no reason to call anyone in if an investgation is already underway. We already cant find alot of the taxpayers money here. The 175 million dollars sent to Indiana to help unemployed people is still being looked for----I think Indiana used it on technology rather than bailing out the hurting people. Now that the Governors leaving office

Thats a very interesting point Jim----and rightfully so! What amazes me is that Ross calls in the State Police after the Lottery is already being investigated. Why would anyone do that! Is he trying to tell Hoosiers that all of a sudden he is interested in putting these CROOKS in jail

Jack Ross didn't have enough evidence to level his allegations, yet he was concerned enough to pay Hollcraft $7500 to keep his mouth shut, and to give Ross a heads-up if he was questioned about the scandal.Last May, the Hoosier Lottery's CPA, Joe Pfister, told LosingJeff and I that their RNG was Foreman's idea. Of course, he also told us that Mr. Foreman was no longer with the lottery.This is only the beginning, folks. Sit back and enjoy the show.
