The cost of Corbett's attempt to privatize the PA. Lottery has now risen to $3.4 million spent on consultants and lawyers, and counting. He has gotten the sole-source bid extended for another 2 months, while he continues to try to find a way around AG Kathleen Kane.

1. Been reading about this the last couple of days

doesn't Corbett understand that including Keno in this plan violates the Gaming Rights Law.

There's no way around the Attorney General's Office. This plan has always been and will always be in violation of state law as long as keno is included. And without Keno, Camelot has no plan.

2. Yes, if the Brits are going to be able to show higher profits with Keno, then let Pa do it

If the Legislature would simply let the current PA. Lottery staff do the same things they are proposing to let the Brits do, then the Pa. Lottery could show the same increased profits.

Then why give away rights to this cash cow for 30 long years?

3. The union that represents Lottery employees

showed that many months ago.

Reason not many people heard about it was because the loudest voices heard were the anti-union Legislators.
