Dave Fillman supports rejection of proposal for lottery privatization in Pennsylvania

Dave Fillman, who is the Executive Director of the AFSCME Council 13, came out with full support to the decision taken by Kathleen Kane, the Attorney General.

General Kane rejected the push made by Corbett, Governor of Pennsylvania, for outsourcing the management of the lottery operations in the state.

Dave issued a statement saying, “The decision taken by Attorney General Kane was quite correct. We have maintained all this while that the contract is illegal. It is one of the reasons why we are more pleased about the fact that his non-partisan legal team has also came up with the same conclusion.”

He continued saying that it was a time to not stop at that point and make a further step ahead on the road of strengthening the position of one of the best lotteries operating in the nation.

He said, “We have members, who are ready to make this happen right from this moment. They can work alongside the legislature and administration to help in generating more revenue for the seniors, who rely a lot on the programs funded by the lottery.”
