NC Lottery Ethics

The new chairman of the North Carolina Illegal Legal, but only if the government does it gambling lottery claims he wants the lottery to be "ethical." Greensboro's News and Record gets this one right when the editors say, "He's got his work cut out for him."

Keep in mind, the lottery was passed under very suspicious circumstances when one senator who didn't support the lottery was on an expensive honeymoon and another was suddenly absent with an "undisclosed leg injury."

Later it was revealed that the company awarded the Lottery contracts (Scientific Games) had an employee that was a top fund-raiser for Jim Black, Speaker of the House. So yes, Scientific Games LITERALLY bought that contract from Jim Black.

Oh, and Scientific Games WROTE the lottery law -- worded specifically to ensure that Scientific Games would get the lottery contract. And of course, it will only be a matter of time before the additional corruption and misuse of money "earned" by the lottery will be revealed.

Thank you, North Carolina Democrats, for making North Carolina politics even dirtier.
