His e-mail address is casanders@mindspring.comThe governor's office contact phone number is (919) 733-5612.Make it a daily task! The day is not complete until you've made at least one phone call, written one e-mail, and mailed one letter. That's the only way to be sure!Thank you Todd.

Hopefully they don't go the route of computerized drawings, just because a new perosn will be in charge.

At least he hasn't been on GTECH's or SciGame's payroll - neither of them is likely to complain too much about him or feel like they've got it made - they've both been vendors for him during his time in NM

With the current tenure rate in N.C., he'll only be there a week or two.

If Shaheen resigned in NM it seems pretty clear he'll be the new guy in NC.When he came to NM, he was pretty open about staying 18 - 24 months and then moving on to something bigger and better (no lack of ego). Its taken him 6 years instead of two - but I wish him luck.Based on who the finalists were, he was probably the best choice.

Actually, it makes me rather nervous, because New Mexico is an all-computerized state, and I would be very concerned if I were a N.C. resident with the impending possibility that he would take those awful computerized contraptions to North Carolina.North Carolina residents need to nip that in the bud, before it even comes up for discussion. Do not stop writing and calling the Governor's office to let them know that they need to avoid computerized drawings at all costs. Write, write, write -- ev... [ More ]

Great choice in terms of getting things started quickly and well. Florida, Georgia, New Mexico--he's seasoned and he's good. I doubt that he'll go with the random number computers in NC--he'll start with instants and then Pick 3--he'll want the action of the balls....

Oh, no. Not a computer guy. And I have a feeling he won't be repenting his sins like Jim Scroggins did.

The New Mexico Lottery Authority Board of Directors announced Tuesday that CEO Tom Shaheen has submitted his resignation.Shaheen, who has been with the Lottery since March 2000, has guided the Lottery to record sales and record returns for education. Tom will be greatly missed but we certainly understand his desire to move on, said Lottery Authority board chair Reta D. Jones. He has been a tremendous asset to not just the Lottery but New Mexico education. Combining strategic marketing with eff... [ More ]
