Doug Ducey’s hand-picked chief of the Arizona Lottery has been forced out of office.
Tony Bouie submitted his verbal resignation late Wednesday following published reports he had assigned himself a state vehicle and was using it for personal errands. That is in violation of state policy.
Gubernatorial spokesman Daniel Scarpinato said he could not comment on the reasons behind Bouie’s sudden departure. But the reports in the Phoenix New Times clearly hit a nerve in an administration, which has crowed about its fiscal responsibility.
