Your money, their friends... BC Edition

The former president and CEO of the B.C. Lottery Corporation has been awarded $603,362.70 in severance pay, the company announced Wednesday.

Vic Poleschuk was fired in June after the release of a tough report by the province's ombudsman raised questions about the management of the lottery system, pointedly noting that there was too little policing of ticket retailers.

Kim Carter said lottery officials had failed to protect consumers, and the system was open to abuse.
Does that sound familiar?

It should.
