Here it is..the Joff Smith order of the night.
Local lottery tickets, says Smith, would give us more control over funding, rather than relying on the state. (It would also, of course, mean taking on the costs of manufacturing, managing, and advertising).
He also wants the City Manager to work with the delegation to change the funding formula to more accurately reflect what Worcester put into the system. It shouldn’t be our job to subsidize the other cities and towns.
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!!!!!!
Smith wants a report on the lottery revenues that came from Worcester the past five years.
(And a zinnnnger from the Mayor: “If we had been listening, we would have heard,” she shot to councilors who asked Smith to repeat.”)
Palmieri says the item is so ridiculous and implausible, he won’t even vote to refer it to committee. He stands alone there; the other councilors vote with Smith.
