Gaming Control Board Under Fire

Sen. Jane Orie, Rep. Mike Vereb, and a few other Republican lawmakers teed off on the Pennsylvania Gaming Control board, for their travel habits during a travel ban.  Click here for the news release.  More from the Tribune Review and PLS. 

On a tangentially related note, you can sign up for the Commonwealth Foundation’s bracket challenge here.  Four Pennsylvania schools are in the “dance” – Pitt, Villanova, Temple, and Robert Morris.  As for my alma mater, they showed a great deal of heart this year, showing up for every game.

There is no cost involved, so none of the proceeds will go to pad the Gaming Control Board’s expense account, or allow Gov. Rendell to claim he has reduced property taxes or college tuition.
