Dephillippo says that with a series of changes which include automating the $2-billion instant game system, instituting multi-state games, cutting staff by 60 to 65 percent and purchasing a state-of-the-art computer system, Malone's administration has turned the lottery into a business.

In addition, some have accused Malone of loading the state's lottery with cronies, while at the same time downsizing layers of management.
Dephillippo, a former Vice President at Fileen's Basement clothing chain, says that both charges are off-base and adds that whatever Malone's hiring practices are, they have worked. In business, he says, that's all that matters.
While Malone may champion cost-cutting reforms that bare resemblance to those forwarded by some of the nation's conservative Republicans, he is careful to distance himself from them.
