Lottery Commission Official At Center Of Kickback Probe
By Vince Leibowitz on Jun 21, 2007 in Texas Politics
From KLBJ:
Did someone at the Texas Lottery Commission accept kickbacks from a financial planning firm in exchange for steering lotto winners their way? That’s what prosecutors want to find out.
The allegation came during a May Lottery Commission meeting by a longtime lotto critic and after learning of the accusations, Lottery Commission Chairman C. Thomas Clowe instructed officials to get to the bottom of it and call in the D.A.if necessary. Commission spokesman Bobby Heith says the allegations are being taken seriously but nothing has been proven.
What the hey? It was only a few days ago that sagging ticket sales were making news and now this. The Lottery Commission can’t seem to catch a break.
