    The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board A Special Performance Audit May 2009 Jack Wagner, Auditor General Pennsylvania Department of the Auditor General Bureau of Special Performance Audits May 27, 2009 The Honorable Gregory C. Fajt Chairman Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board 303 Walnut Street 5th Floor, Verizon Tower Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17106 Dear Chairman Fajt: Enclosed is the report of our special performance audit of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. Our audit covered the Board’s activities from its inception in July 2004 through August 2008, with updates through May 2009 where applicable. We conducted this special performance audit in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. We believe that the evidence obtained does indeed provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. The audit report presents 6 findings and 20 recommendations. Each finding is broken down into discussion points that include the relevant details. The Department of the Auditor General intends to play an important role in Pennsylvania’s gaming industry to ensure that state residents receive all the benefits promised by gaming proponents, such as job creation, property tax relief, and the revitalization of the horse racing industry so important to the state’s economy. To that end, we started this special performance audit as gaming was just beginning in Pennsylvania, and we therefore focused on evaluating various aspects of the hiring process, including whether jobs were filled primarily by Pennsylvanians.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Every report, recommendation and press conference. Every call, petition and rally. Every smile, pair of glasses and art grant. Every action creates opportunities to help growing children succeed. Healthy, well-educated kids make meaningful contributions to society and make us proud as they flourish. Our kids are WORTH IT. ALWAYS WATCHING PCCY is often the first on the scene to shine a light on emerging problems and we work to shut them down fast. We serve children directly year- round in ways that help and also demonstrate how changes in public policy can improve the lives of all children. ALWAYS WORKING PCCY cuts through the cluttered 24-hour news cycle and political gridlock in Harrisburg and beyond. We know that however arduous the work, however taxing our vigilance, whatever it takes, we have to get things done — Our Kids are Worth It! ALWAYS WORTH IT! With the backing of thousands of volunteers, subscribers, generous supporters and private foundations, we are able to proudly continue in the best traditions of PCCY as the leading change-maker for children and as one of the best managed non-profit organizations in the region. Worth Researching WORKING TO STRENGTHEN EVERY CHILD IN NEIGHBORHOOD HIGH PENNSYLVANIA DESERVES SCHOOLS HEALTH INSURANCE Neighborhood high schools serve the majority The shame of denying 24,000 children access of the city’s students.
