Remember how the state lottery was supposed to fix our state's education budget? Remember how it
didn't work?
Well, now, Arkansas is thinking about doing
something similar, and this has some Oklahoman's
worried that this could reduce state revenue from the lottery even further.
Two proposals failed to make it out of committee
earlier this year, in which Jim Scroggins, the Oklahoma State Lottery Commissioner tried to get Oklahoma legislators to release the state mandate (currently 30% and soon 35%) on the funds, so that the lottery could compete better with surrounding states, which
could, he hypothesised, actually increase the revenue to the state. Legislators were not convinced.
