The powerful contingent of four Republican senators in the state legislature has thrown another ingredient into the casino mix with a proposal to privatize the Lottery.
Things are looking pretty gooey.
From today's Globe:
"We shouldn't be running casinos, and we certainly shouldn't be running a
lottery," he went on. "It isn't a core mission of the government. The state
should be licensing and regulating the lottery like the governor has proposed
for the casinos." http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2007/10/22/group_pushes_to_privatize_lottery/
This presents a serious dilemma; one that surely is a core mission of government according to many loyal Red Sox fans and Treasurer Cahill...who will bring the trophy around when we win the World Series?

C'mon where are the comments?
We WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haven't heard about the trophy tour yet...two years ago, Secretary Cahill unveiled the tour and the trophy at the annual MMA (Mass Municipal Association) Conference. That's the second weekend in January...must remember to bring the camera.
Maybe they will charge to see/touch it to make up for the Lottery loses and inadequate local aid funding?
