Lottery Contract Back on Agenda

In Saturday's Post, Council Chairman Vincent C. Gray's office said that the controversial lottery contract wouldn't be placed on the agenda for tomorrow's council meeting, drawing criticism from the representatives of the contractors, Intralot and W2Tech, who said the council was short-circuiting a fair process.

Well, looks like they made their point: The lottery contract, "Contract No. CFOPD-7-C-053, On-line Gaming System and Related Services Approval Resolution of 2008", PR 17-0429," is back on the agenda posted this afternoon on the council Web site.

Gray spokesperson Doxie McCoy confirms that her boss made the move, but she makes the point that any councilmember could have moved the contract onto the council agenda.
