Auditor General DePasquale Issues Statement on Decision to Extend Lottery Privatization Contract with British Firm
HARRISBURG (Oct. 31, 2013) – Auditor General Eugene DePasquale today released the following statement on the Corbett Administration’s decision to provide an eleventh extension on the contract with British-owned Camelot Global Services Inc. to privatize the Pennsylvania Lottery management:
“I disagree with the Corbett Administration’s decision to extend the Lottery privatization contract, but I respect the governor’s right to make that decision and proceed.
“My office will carefully scrutinize the $3.4 million already spent on this effort. We will continue to review the entire Lottery privatization process in such a way as it may be helpful to the governor — and therefore the people of Pennsylvania — to make a final decision that is in the best interest of all taxpayers.”
