Innocent Floridians, take heed: Your lottery department has been going rogue. Luckily, we've got state Rep. Clay Ford to reel it back in.
The Gulf Breeze Republican is pushing a measure that would tighten the department's ability to set its own rules. While other state departments have some rulemaking authority, the lottery's power is significantly broader, said Ford aide Ray Walker.
