Former Ohio Lottery Director denies claims of harassment days before resigning for "medical reasons"Reply

Ryan Mindell appointed Executive Director of Texas LotteryReply
He does have some big shoes to fill, but who knows, Ryan may end up being the best lottery director ever. In either case, I doubt his photo will have any bearing on the outcome. I tend to avoid criticizing people for physical appearance. That's a really outdated concept, so I'm surprised to see it.
