State house democrats Wednesday releasing their own study on the lottery deal, and coming up with different revenue projection. They claim if the state would hold onto the lottery, it would be more of a moneymaker

Rep. Scott Conklin, (D) Centre County, says, “We hired an analyst and they think the state will lose $12 billion in the deal.”

The governor's proposed deal with the British firm, Camelot Global Services, will have other impacts.

Conklin adds, “We’re going to lose Pennsylvania jobs, plus this foreign company isn’t even going to be based here in Pennsylvania. Instead, they'll be in Delaware, where they don’t have to pay our taxes.

The governor releasing this statement in response to the charges raised by the house democrats. He says it’s still a good deal for Pennsylvania, especially when it comes to guaranteeing revenue for senior programs. But the deal does face further review, including from the new attorney general.

Kathleen Kane, PA Attorney General, says, “I’m going to have the governor’s office send over the lottery contract and we will take a look at the legality of it.”

Kane says she's simply looking at the legality, not the politics involved, in the proposed privatization of the lottery.
