New money vs. Old moneyReply

Northstar fights to keep Illinois lottery documents secretReply
There should be some performance guarantee in the contract. Three straight years of not meeting revenue goals. Plain and simple. Northstar should be fired. I worry when lotteries become privatized. This is a prime example.

Northstar fights to keep Illinois lottery documents secretReply

Also, to add: The inquiry I find just, given that North Star has failed to meet revenue targets as outlined in the contract. The people of Illinois are now entitled to know how their money is being appropiated.

Is it immoral to work if you've won enough to not work?Reply
YES. It is immoral, because it's like you are mocking your co-workers. Remember the story of the dude that turned down million dollars contract from NFL because he wanted to go and join the army and go to iraq. The dude died from friendly fire. What do you people really think happened there. Just saying.
