Lottery gets help on slots
Four former Ohio Lottery directors began meeting Monday to help the state bring slot machines to Ohio’s seven horse racetracks.
The advisory group will assist current lottery director Mike Dolan and the nine-member state lottery commission, according to the Strickland administration.
The four former directors are: Tom Chema, who served under Gov. Dick Celeste and is now Hiram College president; Tom Hayes, who served under Gov. Bob Taft and is now a part-time consultant; Mitchell Brown, who served under Gov. George Voinovich and is Columbus public safety director; and Ronald Nabakowski, who served under Celeste and is now a Lorain County Clerk of Courts.
The Strickland administration said the group will help develop a timeline and strategies for handling applications and licenses, limiting the number and locations of facilities, avoiding conflicts of interest, procuring vendors, and other issues.
