The Arkansas Lottery Commission Legislative Oversight Committee delayed action on whether or not to favorably review the lottery commission’s online gaming contract with Intralot. The committee will take up the issue again at their meeting on Thursday. Failure to favorably review the contract could put the projected Sept. 28 start date in jeopardy, although that was the main sticking point for most of the legislators on the committee. Of course, just a short while ago, legislators were complaining that things weren’t moving along quickly enough. Lawmakers cited constituent concerns that the lottery is moving along too quickly, but today’s meeting left the impression that committee members were being contrarian in order to get their names in the paper.
