HARTFORD, CT - The Connecticut Lottery Corporation (CLC), a $900 million per year operation that returns $275 million to the state has done an excellent job at extracting resources from minorities, but has done an abysmal job at contributing to the economic health of minority communities in the state, the Greater New England Minority Supplier Development Council said.
In 2010, the CLC awarded only 16 contracts totaling less than $20,000 to minority-owned businesses while 98 contracts totaling more than $217,000 were awarded to white women owned enterprises.
