HARRISBURG —
Gov. Tom Corbett’s exploration of hiring a British firm to run the Pennsylvania Lottery continues to run into resistance from state Treasurer Rob McCord.
McCord said Wednesday that the Corbett administration has failed to give a clear description of Camelot Global Services’ plans to expand lottery gambling, and he questioned whether it is authorized by state law.
As a result, McCord reiterated his threat to withhold payments to Camelot under a business plan that involves the operation of monitor- or video-based games.
The Department of Revenue says plans to introduce keno in bars and restaurants fall under the lottery’s legal authority to operate terminal-based games.
It says it doesn’t include video poker or require lawmakers’ approval.
