Democrats Seek Details of Proposed Lottery Agreement



Democratic lawmakers say the Corbett administration's move to privatize Pennsylvania Lottery management is shrouded in secrecy.
 
Senate Democrats are asking for a copy of the proposed agreement between the state and Camelot Global Services and say the Corbett administration is creating a corporate giveaway for the sole bidder.
 
Democrats are also seeking a full explanation of the scope of expanded lottery gambling under the proposed agreement and say the agreement would ensure that Camelot stands to reap hundreds of millions of dollars in profits that otherwise would go to programs for the state's seniors for their prescription drugs, transportation, property taxes and rent.
 
Governor Tom Corbett says he's exploring privatization of the lottery management to see if a private company can boost lottery revenue for the state's growing elderly population.
