Gambling Contracts Fail to Deliver Employment Promises in Rhode Island
Understanding IGT's Commitment
When IGT secured the no-bid contract to operate the Rhode Island Lottery, a core component of its agreement was to create 1,100 jobs for local residents. However, recent reports highlight that IGT has again failed to fulfill this promise, contributing to an overall negative perception of its role in the state.
Impact of Government Contracts
- The failed employment commitments raise questions about the effectiveness of government contracts in delivering job security.
- Local leaders express concerns over the implications for economy and employment in Rhode Island.
- The connection between politics and gambling operations could further complicate future agreements.
Addressing Local Employment Concerns
