Over $3 Million of PA. Funding for Seniors Wasted so Far on Lottery Privatization Consultants

[JPZenger]

So far, the lottery privatization deal is on life support. At least $3 million has been spent on it for consultants and lawyers. That money will come out of the lottery fund. The article describes the services that could have been provided to seniors if that $3 million had not been diverted.

1. There are no bounds to Corbett's destruction of Pennsylvania.

What a damn shame for all of us.

2. Holy shit! That is a big chunk of change!

Sigh.

I wish that the asshole in our governor's seat had to 1) pay for these consultants himself or 2) raise the money for consulting from his buddies. The fact that this boondoggle is being STOLEN from the lottery fund set up to help the elderly is disgusting.

How do we stop this waste of money from ever being possible again? I am so tired of being outraged and having no hope of doing anything about it.
