Another Pa. state agency questions lottery deal

PHILLY.COM / AP:   A third state agency is pointing to potential legal problems in Gov. Corbett’s stalled plan to hire a British company to manage the $3.5 billion Pennsylvania Lottery.

The chief counsel of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board wrote in a letter dated March 18 that the proposed contract documents are ambiguous and do not say clearly what kinds of new gambling Camelot Global Services would be allowed to operate.

The letter was a response to an analysis requested by members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees as lawmakers sort through legal questions raised previously by state Treasurer Rob McCord and Attorney General Kathleen Kane.
