Little Rock - The incoming director of Arkansas' lottery says he wants to hire two vice presidents to help run the games and pay each of them at least $200,000 annually.
Ernie Passailaigue, who was hired last week as the executive director, told members of the lottery commission Friday that he'd like to create a vice president of games and a vice president of administration. Passailaigue said he is looking at two candidates from South Carolina, where he serves as director of that state's lottery.
Lawmakers earlier this week approved paying Passailaigue
$324,000, a bump from his current pay of $226,829.
