The Tennessee Lottery and Guns on Campus

The Tennessee Lottery has enough money in its reserves to last until 2024 if revenue and expenses remain the same, although it is currently spending more annually than it takes in. One Tennessee  lawmaker says it would take an eight percent increase in tickets sales to keep revenues and expenditures in balance with no rules changes in who gets the scholarship.  Yet, there is plenty of discussion in Nashville about raising the requirements or reducing the amount of the scholarship. See the article linked below for more details.
