Chris-Crossing the Privatization Scam 1
Chris Christie plays the privatization lottery . . . and loses.
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 am no fan of lotteries as a means to raise public funds. They are a scam used by cowardly politicians to prey on the poor so as to avoid honest taxes.
This, I reckon, is a case of scammers out-scammed.
