Arkansas Lottery Commission Executive Director Ernie Passailaigue on Thursday defended the combined $450,000 he wants to offer two former colleagues of his from South Carolina to take top posts with Arkansas' games. Passailaigue appeared before a legislative panel overseeing the lottery.
The commission voted to hire Passailaigue, who was the director of South Carolina's lottery, and pay him $324,000 annually.
Passailaigue says he hopes to hire two former colleagues from that state as vice presidents of Arkansas' lottery and pay them $225,000 each.
