Uh OH, New Jersey Lottery Falls Short Of Targets After Chris Christie Privatizes Management!

[yortsed snacilbuper]

When Chris Christie privatized the management of New Jersey's lottery two years ago, he said its new overseers would "modernize and maximize" the games.

Instead, a lottery once ranked among the nation's top performers is now lagging for the second straight year, trailing its state income targets by $64 million seven months into the current fiscal year. Meanwhile, the company running it has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire lobbyists and a public relations firm with close ties to the governor.

I love this. While I am not surprised that privatization FAILED, I am surprised by how many people think it's always the best way to do everything.

4. "We're not going to sit here today and talk contract issues,"

lottery Executive Director Carol Hedinger said after the AP asked a question about Northstar's management during a public meeting last week.

They wanted to talk about contract issues before, now they don't.
