Q. You came from the Massachusetts Lottery, but before that you were a prosecutor. Isn't that an interesting background for a lottery chief?

A. It's kind of funny. I was for several years a prosecutor for narcotics and organized crime. When I was appointed legal counsel to the Massachusetts Lottery, the defense bar howled. They thought I was switching sides, but there is a lot of symmetry to it. When I was prosecutor, I regulated illegal gambling; now I'm regulating legal gambling. I have a real sense of what people want when they gamble. I've seen it from both sides.

If you work for a political gang gambling is okay; Because some criminals are more organized than other criminals.

When the law says it's okay to kidnap cage and kill the competition, you'll have happy cops working for you to eliminate your competition. No one can offer better odds and get away with it!

You can pay your hitmen/cops top dollar, when you have a violent monopoly on gambling.
